Do NOT forget that Obama and Boehner are golf buddies…Unfortunately, “Last minute deal” in Congress, with mutual compromise, we already saw so many times during last 4 years ( it become part of Washington “middle ground” Political “game”)…I am optimist about ‘fiscal cliff’…

The reason we are here now is because none of our congress people can do anything without considering their own future prospects in elections. Well, that and they need to check with the money guys that put them in. I would prefer the “fiscal cliff” to another weak compromise by congress. However, I expect that they will find a “compromise” that loads down everyone except the wealthy and the military industries. And again, likely to blame the poor for being poor, like our heroic leaders tend to do. What great americans are our leaders as they stand supported by the wealthy and defend them against the poor and suffering. Why don’t we just cut to the chase and have everyone who is not a millionaire put into chains and treated like the slaves that they are and always have been.
