My question is

It seems to me that most of the consensus (media, forums like this) is that we are headed for what is known as a "fiscal cliff"
What I have noticed is that cons are very disturbed by this (fiscal cliff that is) while dems seem to ALWAYS shrug it off.
The question is,
Do dems believe we are NOT headed for a fiscal cliff, do not CARE that we are headed there, or simply dont give a s@@t one way or another?

"Fiscal cliff" is some kinda hot potato! If we look to the specifics, it's impossible to see a "cliff". Yet, some are still employing the term. And on that note, your premise is false as we're currently seeing at least as many Dems using the term "cliff", as we are GOPs. So the question becomes...who benefits most, from portraying this non-cliff, as a cliff?

I think I know the answer to that one but...we'll have to wait and see which party runs away from the term "cliff", first.
 
Ohhh they give a xxxx allright....you better believe they give a xxxx....ya see they can't offer all the free stuff to their freeloader base unless we go over the cliff, and then they'll blame it on republicans and the ignorant masses will buy into that because the f'ckin media will agree.

America has been screwed.
 
"Fiscal cliff" is a term that was coined by the right for use as a fear tactic. GOPs thought they were gonna beat Pres. Obama with fear tactics,one of which was the "fiscal cliff",and then save the country once Pres. Obama was beaten. GOPs didn't think the "fiscal cliff" scenario would actually happen but here we are. It's not really a cliff,because the defense and domestic spending cuts are spread out over a number of years. They don't happen all at once. OTH,the expiration of the tax cuts happens all at once but most folks pay their taxes monthly or quarterly each year. Technically,it's not a "fiscal cliff". Not a good idea for the right to have coined that phrase.
 
In late February 2012, Ben Bernanke, chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, was the first person to use the term "fiscal cliff" for this crisis.

Try somethin' else.....

Bernanke called it a cliff. Then the Dems called it a cliff, and the GOP called it a cliff (or vice versa). It's not a cliff. The next thing for us to watch for is which one - GOP or Dem - is the first to crack, and start insisting that it's not a cliff.
 
bd didn't know, doesn't care...he's one of those who just likes to come into the house and pee on the carpet
 
Ben Bernanke was first appointed by George W. Bush. Not exactly a lefty. Don't need to try something else. Got it right the first time. Please proceed.
