We will see who is right. No need to speculate.

So do I.

The Fiscal Cliff deal makes raising taxes a forgone conclusion. It forces a rasing of rates on everyone if there is no agreement on spending cuts so guess who won't negotiate spending cuts? That's right, Obama and why should he when Republicans gave away the farm before the election.

You may as well raise rates on the "rich" because the economy is already in a recession when compared to the "Bush recession". If tax rates go up on everyone and the economy tanks, then the Republicans will be blamed. It's actually Obama's back against the wall of economic ruin brought about by his party.

In bizarre way, going over the fiscal cliff is win-win politically. Obama gets his tax increase, the republicans don’t have to vote for one... that’s why i think it’s going to happen. and after that, anything is possible...

Good analyses. The beltway GOP attacks on the kenyan have to so halfhearted. It’s obvious red meat for the base without any follow up. We’re being played.

The GOP will pay in 2014. Nobody will want to support these clueless losers. Being not Democrats isn’t good enough any more.
