Bingo. The only one here facing a fiscal cliff is government itself. And Republicans will again line up to give their stamp of approval for another $2-3 trillion of newly printed money so that the Dems can win another election.
I think thats really off base. The cliff is great for big liberal government. Huge tax increases, huge cuts to defense. Obamacare untouched, medicare untouched, social security untouched. Obama and the dems don't want a deal because it is great for them. And if tanks the economy, they republicans will take the blame.
