"could tax everyone at 100% and still not have enough for the benefits they have been promised"
Exactly right. For some reason, liberals don't seem to grasp that, from those that I have spoken to they seem to think..."It will work itself out somehow, but I need to still get that monthly check and I will vote for anyone who says they plan to send it to me." One person actually said..."the county's debt really doesn't effect me as far as I can see"...I am afraid that too many people really feel like this. (When the checks stop and a bill comes I think he will get the message quick)
I love the US but it is getting so I am really thinking of moving to a remote island in south pacific someplace and living out my days in a hut with a small boat and some light tackle.

The market usually does pretty poorly the day after the election.
Add to that the looming fiscal cliff negotiation that we have to get through and it's going to make people very jittery short-term.

serously, is it a coincidence that its all over the media today but not mentioned in the mainstream (non-financial news) during the elections cycle? No debate question on how you would handle the fiscal cliff? |

After hearing today that post vote interviews showed 21%
were influenced by Obama and Christie stepping over a 2x4 together after Sandy, reminds me of JDs remarks many months ago about stupid uneducated voters.
Nothing wrong with the Repub message, smaller govt.and fiscal responsibility,
just uneducated voters influenced by a blurb of cum bi ya on TV, forgetting they had hired a guy 4 years ago to do a job,which he failed at,and it was time to fire him.

It has been there, buried by a biased media, and should have been exploited during the campaign. A lot of smart people dug their heads in the sand on this one. Gonna be hell to pay. Popular vote shows a clearly divided nation. Party system doesn't work. Too much money spent, especially here in Mass Senate race. Don't tell me that Warren doesn't owe a few votes for all that money.... Yes, I am disgusted. Already had two kitchen projects cancelled TODAY. Fiscal cliff effects will explode exponentially over the next four years. Given the first four years, it is clear that newly confirmed administration does not have the skill set to even recognize the impending fiscal disaster, nevermind having the experience and balls to reverse its direction. He got a pretty good review considering it's only his second job..... Good for him that he will never have to work in the private sector and actually have a perfomance review for his job. I'm going to continue hiding in plain sight. When the handouts end and the man comes to collect, I won't be found.... |

I guess Alex Baldwin won't be moving to New Zeland and will still
be here then.  |

The man I work for told me today he's had it. Going to cash in the company and retire early to Costa Rica. Guess I'll just have to load up on melanin and change my name.

The only thing that is giving me hope right now is that this election process was so dismal that there will be a grass root movement to bring in some type of term limits for the House and Senate. Personally I would like to see any person limited to two terms in the senate and three terms in the house. The term in the house should be changed from two years to four so these guys are not constantly looking for money. Finally no citizen can serve for a period more than 16 years total in the house and senate combined.
Would be nice if Obama and the Speaker come out and say they are going to a room and not coming out until they have a deal.

The only problem with your last statement is they will then be blamed for not having the back bone to stand up to Obama . Unfortunately the media has an agenda and the republicans, although being right, are on the wrong side oh this agenda .
Talk about flip flipping
Welcome Obama .... The non partisan, fiscally conservative president for all the people .
What a joke
