wmw999 2,452 #1 December 3, 2012 I see 3 real possibilities. The 4th option goes without saying, therefore multiple votes are OK Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andrewwhyte 1 #2 December 4, 2012 Probably the best thing for the long run is for the country to steadfastly go over the cliff. This of course is contingent upon me not losing my job in the short run; ahh there's the rub. Edited to add: I voted for the "kick the can down the road" prediction.

Andrewwhyte 1 #4 December 4, 2012 I that a prediction or a prescription TK? I must say that if it is a prescription I am surprised to hear it from you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,998 #5 December 4, 2012 >you forgot the 4th option, "Let it happen". That's option 2. Option 4 is boobies. If you just let them happen, though, I'm all for that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tkhayes 348 #6 December 4, 2012 It was going to be the 'end of times' when GM went under, but it was and is not. It was going to be the end of times when Obama got reelected, but it is and was not. This will also not be the end of times. I would prefer they spend their time on something more productive. If they did not want these tax cuts and spending cuts to happen, why did the original legislation have a time limit then? I'll tell you why - because it makes sense to do that, that's why.

wmw999 2,452 #10 December 4, 2012 Unfortunately, I'm in complete agreement with all the folks who think they'll come up with some lame-ass stopgap Which means they're boobies, but not that kind.

JerryBaumchen 1,368 #11 December 4, 2012 Hi Wendy, Quotesome lame-ass stopgap IMO what needs to be done is get going on the spending cuts & raising taxes on everyone. Painful but it would work. No politician ( of either party wants to do that ) so they will just continue kicking that can on down the road. JerryBaumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
