The Fiscal Cliff
How many of you follow this? Is this just negotiating or are the principle players locked in to their positions? Do you believe that negotiating in the MSM is helping the situation? What do you believe should be the outcome, with specifics?
& separately, what's your opinion of Costco borrowing money to pay a special dividend - noting that Sinegal, the founder, was a big Obama supporter, specifically his support for taxing the !%? Hypocritical?

personally I think its a dog and pony show similar to the one they had about raising the debt limit...its a stupid game of "political chicken"...both sides will play a game pf brinksmanship, and both sides will claim victory

Where do we go without great leaders for the defense of our liberties? Who will defend our right to live our lives _as we chose_ without others taking that from us? The answer is, as it should be, no one. We are the defense of our rights and should always remember that. Libertarian blogger
The Fiscal Cliff is not the problem...insightful read.

The two biggest courses of action we could take is to reform Medicare & Medicaid so that people can no longer abuse it stealing it blind and the other is to downsize the Federal Government. Like anything run by the government, there is theft and waste into the billions.

I agree but the idiots in washington won't do that so what can we do? We live in a socialist society now, are we doomed to go bankrupt?

We are already over the Fiscal Cliff and bankrupt. What can we do about it? How about we start supporting candidates that advocate a Balance Budget Amendment and downsizing government instead of where they stand on social issues. Leaders that are willing to end the Federal Reserve and return monetary policy to the Congress and not international banking. In doing so though, we have to be careful in electing politicians that really believe in this and not just mouthing the words because they sound good.

Honestly...I think the tax cuts need to expire for everyone and the spending get cut across the board. Then it is not up to congress anymore. I think the economy can afford it, but people will get hurt but our runaway budget gets addressed.
Now if I thought folks would agree....I think the lower income houses should keep their tax breaks and the higher income bear the burden while defense should take a major cut to keep from touching entitlements like social security and medicare.
