Default What's with this 'fiscal cliff'?

I was just reading that with all the negotiations, posturing, name
calling and blaming by members of Congress, it now appears that any last
minute agreement likely to be approved will do absolutely nothing to
address the federal deficit for at least 10 years.

Basically, all this grandstanding for nothing.

Next election cycle, let's boot them all out. Nobody in the real world
could keep a job with such a dismal performance record as these people
have. That includes Democrats and Republicans.

Furthermore, eliminate their federal pension. Require them to pay into
Social Security like anyone else.
Eliminate their special privileges and health care. Make them buy it like everyone else.

Finally ... pass term limits. No more lifetime politicians.


Been saying that for years.
