The Fiscal Cliff

Yawn.

While the Republican party licks its wounds after being thrashed by the Obama campaign, the call to resolve our financial problems is being spoken loud and clear. The end of the world is coming on December 31, 2012. Zzzzzzzzzzzz.

Nothing will happen.

I have no doubts that the deadline will be moved back… and back… and back. Our Washington politicians do not want to risk their permanent careers by doing anything that would be hazardous to them. So they’ll blame the other side, and so on.

Look for lots of noise, no action and then a last minute resolution to put off the “Fiscal Cliff” problem for another 3-6 months. As nothing will happen, we’ll keep borrowing money at well over $40,000 a second to keep our house of cards from crashing down. It will. It’s like driving to California from Atlanta and pretending that you can do it on one tank of gas. Eventually, the truth will out as the gas gauge drops below zero and your car sputters to a halt.

It’s like a version of musical chairs, but no one wants to be caught sitting in that chair when the music stops.

Sad to say that unless someone speaks the truth to the American public so they understand how they are being stabbed in the back, that they’ll keep supporting the status quo.

It was a shame that I wasn’t elected to Congress this year, as I speak the truth… loud and clear.
