Topic: Fiscal Cliff
America: The Kardashian Years January 13, 2013
Clarice Feldman
Facts -- they just don't matter like they used to. Neither does the Constitution, if you listen to Joe Biden, Governor Cuomo, and other politicians grabbing the microphones to take advantage of the low information voters' short attention span.

Both Obama and the Congress knew for at least two years that the "fiscal cliff" was coming, yet did absolutely nothing about the situation.
Throwing the Rich to the Lions January 4, 2013
Jeannie DeAngelis

The Dark Side of the Cliff December 31, 2012
Scott Mayer
If no deal is struck and we go over this so-called "fiscal cliff" we'll wake up fully intact on 1/1/2013 but aware that paychecks will be smaller and life will get much tougher once the economy worsens.
Fiscal Cliff: Yeah, It's Coming December 29, 2012
Warren Beatty
So now the House of Representatives has adjourned for its Christmas recess until after the New Year. I guess that Boehner (and Obama) thought the Christmas adjournment was more important than the country.
Keeping Sight of the Cliff December 26, 2012
Anthony J. Ciani
The "fiscal cliff" is more like a mountainous landscape, with slopes, falls, rapids, and precipices. The United States has found itself lost in the mountains, surrounded by dangers, and it needs to navigate a path back to safety.
GOP Strategy and the Fiscal Cliff December 24, 2012
Michael Bargo, Jr.
The GOP should give up on trying to negotiate with the President. He shows no interest in doing anything but portraying them as the party of the rich. The GOP should instead turn their attention on post-cliff strategy.

It's time for all producers to take full advantage of every legal tax-saving measure possible in order to "starve" the government beast.
Boehner and Cantor versus Augustus Barack I December 15, 2012
J. Robert Smith
The president wants capitulation from Republicans -- unconditional surrender -- with a public signing of accords on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri (or maybe on Warren Buffet's yacht moored somewhere on the Potomac).
Rep. Capuano (D-MA) vs. the Public December 15, 2012
Peter Wilson
Capuano the great compromiser dismisses the Ryan Budget and the "proposal recently offered by Speaker Boehner" out of hand, accusing them of "essentially abolishing Medicare as we know it."
An Overlooked Constant December 13, 2012
Steve McCann
Short of turning America into Stalin's police state and confiscating all the wealth of the "evil" one percent, the predictable behavior of this economic class very much revolves around the tax policies of the government.
Embrace the Suck December 13, 2012
William L. Gensert
Obama's politics of bitterness and envy just won an election. Perhaps the failure of his policies based on the same can save a nation.
Fiscal Cliff: Negotiation Failure could be the Best Option December 8, 2012
Howard Richman, Raymond Richman, and Jesse Richman
Both parties in the fiscal cliff negotiations are planning to keep the budget deficits at well over $1 trillion per year. The U.S. debt-to-GDP ratio would continue to explode.
Fiscal Cliff Causes Hostage Crisis December 7, 2012
Scott Mayer
The so-called "fiscal cliff" that has everyone so paralyzed with fear is really just a politically-constructed illusion designed to scare Americans into handing over more money and power to politicians.
Taking it to the President on the Fiscal Cliff December 3, 2012
Michael Nadler
President Obama believes he has boxed-in Republicans with the fiscal cliff negotiations. But the GOP-controlled House can play this game too.
Will We Ever Get Our America Back? December 1, 2012
David S. Whitley
Who but a robber takes joy in giving away another man's treasure? Who rests comfortably at night with a clear conscience after giving one man the labor of another? Does anyone -- let alone the cold faceless State -- have the ability to "love your neighbor" for you?
On the Edge November 13, 2012
