Honestly, I think they will blame the GOP at first, but will that last 2 years (until the next congressional election), 4 years (the next Presidential election), etc.?
What if going off the fiscal cliff brings us into another recession, like many (not all) economists are predicting. Does the GOP take the blame for that?
I am very skeptical, and to tell the truth, if my taxes go up by $2,000 - $4,000 next year, I am gonna blame them all!
I am not "the wealthy", and I want them to pay their fair share, but I don't have the extra money laying around to pay extra towards my "fair share" because the two parties are in a pissing match.
