Fiscal Cliff Propaganda: Government has created financial collapse. They have us in a deep hole of debt that is inescapable. Magically they managed to pull us out of the hole and place us at the edge of a cliff and put themselves in the position as saviors, heroes. Let me explain fiscal cliff. When government digs a whole so deep it creates a cliff not to go over but impossible to climb. Yet they raise taxes and not even peep, instead we are thankful and relieved. Pure Hypnosis!

[Multieyecolorgirl]

OH NO WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO!! Ahhhh noooo panic screams ahhhh sasaasss aaaa... Oh look we just avoided the fiscal cliff mere hours before it happened, aint that ironic ( note sarcasm)

[Ernie VAN TENT]

Form a new government for the people by the people,all the one`s you have in office are corrupt.

[James Freeman]

Start b y bringing all our troops home from foreign lands, stop paying for governments expensive trips, stop paying for Obama's golf games, get rid of 75% of federal bureauocracies, put heavy tariffs on all foreign products comming into America, reduce pay of all federal government politicians that have done a lousy job, resulting in bringing America to its knee's. Reduce all taxes in half, no income taxes, put all hard earned money back in American pockets, take gov's hands out of our pockets.

negotiations in deadlock... if we hit it, then it ain't going to be funny...

[DillonDee1]

Better to go off the fiscal cliff until we can begin serious discussions about cutting Defense Spending by at least 25%.

[Lionel Ducote]

instead of erasing bushes cuts, get the worthless of wellfare, not the helpless the worthless

[ishoestring]

Events like our government’s current negotiations over the fiscal cliff only reinforce the tediousness of 24 hour news channels when nothing’s happening. How many discussions and opinions can you have about a topic before it becomes pointless?

Given my exasperation with the perpetual reporting of nothing, rumors and supposition, let’s cut to the chase…(read more at justinopinion com)

Not to be confused with the Physical Cliff.

Just cause something doesint solve the problem completly doesin't mean its not key, if you ended ALL the goerge bush tax cuts and cut defense in half you would be alot closer but still not there. It needs to done anyway!
