The Fiscal Cliff Is a Lie

47. Me too. We should be talking about JOBS, JOBS, JOBS

How the hell did we get to the point that the MSM and the Beltway morons are allowed to go for 60 days never once mentioning JOBS?

My hope is that Obama is cleverly using this shock doctrine myth of "the cliff" to set up another stimulus. His first stimulus was remarkable, not just that it passed and did stimulate the economy, but that it moved the country significantly forward on many new industries. His people intentionally set up "the cliff. The confluence of these factors (Bush taxes expiring, the sequester, and the debt ceiling) were all carefully orchestrated by Obama to come at the same time, just as he is kicking off his second term. That is no accident. Let's see how he uses it.

I have a lot of confidence that Obama is going to score here. I have been listening to Republicans a lot the past 2 weeks (that's all the MSM seems to talk to) and those morons have no clue what is happening. They have no plan. They are just babbling about "the cliff". This is the perfect setup.

And the Republicans are right panicked -- and that is before their constituents see their taxes go up January 1. I fully expect that Obama will let the whole thing blow up on them, unless the Republicans come forward with a very sweet deal before the end of the year. I think the odds are very low. The best deal Obama will get is AFTER the cuts expire and AFTER the Pentagon loses their money. That is when Obama has maximum leverage.
