who created the 'fiscal cliff,' aka automatic sequestration, in the first place?

5. i've noticed. looking at who voted for it is interesting too.

the fact is that congress imposed this requirement on themselves & could un-impose it through the same process: instead, they're playing this silly game where they pretend that the law they themselves passed is used as if it were imposed by some outside force in order to force more cuts.

or maybe they just passed it to go into effect in two years & decided to play this little game so people would be more grateful worse things didn't happen.

either way, it's farce -- unfortunately, farce that kills.
