your money

OR, you let taxes rise to where they were pre bush...and let spending fall to pre bush...and take a few lumps maybe...and shrink the deficit which supposedly is what we're trying to do.......without phasing in and massaging and managing and all those codewords for special interest groups trying to withdraw their constituency from any sacrifice. The fiscal cliff is a misnomer it's an adjustement to previoiusly implemented policies, no big deal....grow up america................

Moderate GROWTH? Where? Over 100,000 people have lost their jobs just since the election. 2 weeks ago. How can anyone spin that as "growth"?

Over 300,000 people lose their jobs every week. More than that find new jobs every week. That's called "growth."

Look, this economy is in a fools game. Consumer confidence? That does not equate to more spending. Confidence is not money. Got it? And most of the spending is now coming from the use of credit cards. I thought the liberals and all of the others had come to the point of not doing that anymore? Come January, wait and see the crying for the people wasted the little money that they actually had. And the Republicans and the Democrats will not come together. The President is willing to cut about 1 trillion dollars in various guides. In fact, he already wants to spend another $500 billion that was not there before. How does the liberals call that cutting costs? As the speaker of the house said, "this is ludicrous". Lets see who will move their feet first, the spenders or the cost cutters.
