The Fiscal Cliff

Steve Forbes was on Hannity today talking with Rudy Giuliani. He thought congress should once again kick the can till after the new year to provide some time to get a good deal done, not one that is rushed and not read by anyone let alone debated. I totally agree.

If the house were to pass such a bill to allow all the current tax rates and spending to remain where they for say 3 months, how could Reid and BHO not be in favor of it. If they don't, they will own the going over the cliff.

So now let's talk about the 3 months both sides negotiate. I must be public. Put it on C-Span for all to see. We (conservatives) must be willing to give as much as we take. We can't expect to get all spending cuts and not give in on some tax increases. We also need to insist on real cuts, none of this phony reduction in the size of growth.

We currently owe $16,384,000,000. Even if we balanced the budget today and added not another dime to the debt, we would still owe the $16,384,000,000. Do you realize how hard it's going to be paying that back?

I'm really tired of our elected officials doing what's right for them and not what's right for the country.
