A FISCAL CLIFF CONVERSATION



Okay so there was an article about the impending Fiscal Cliff and it was titled "Night Talks: Obama, Boehner Meet on "Fiscal Cliff." I find that particular title disturbing as it makes me think. I wonder what a conversation between the two would sound like late during the night.

OBAMA: Hello John!

BOEHNER: Hello Mr. President.

OBAMA: How are you this evening?

BOEHNER: I am in my pajamas resting, drinking a hot tea with some bread nutella spread all over it.

OBAMA: Sounds lovely John, now we must talk about this fiscal cliff coming up.

BOEHNER: What are you wearing Mr. President?

OBAMA: Black suit, white shirt, red tie. John it is imperative we discuss this cliff.

BOEHNER: That sounds lovely and very handsome on you.

OBAMA: John the top 2% of earners can afford to pay extra taxes.

BOEHNER: Your voice is so beautiful.

OBAMA: What?

BOEHNER: What? I mean you are right they can pay but they should not because future trust fund children will not be able to finance elections as well as now.

OBAMA: John we are killing the middle class.

BOEHNER: Nutella is so sexy, like you.

OBAMA: I am, what?

BOEHNER: I mean that we should re-examine the Reagan economic model.

OBAMA: John have you been smoking Cannabis?

BOEHNER: Want to come over and listen to Gangnam style?

The conversation would go on for several more minutes and nothing would be accomplished leading to another deadlock on the fiscal cliff. In the end this one was caused by Nutella, Gangnam Style, and possibly Cannabis.



CLIFF AHEAD


So now that there are a few days left before the impending financial crisis about to hit the US there are a few interesting questions to be asked. The first question would be: Who is doing their math? I fail to see how taxing the top 2% of earners in the US will represent a blythe for future generations. I think it's laughable how John Boehner claims objectivity while a majority of core voters for the republican party are agreeing with this measure.

I understand that poles represent a sampled microscopic fraction of the population but if almost every tiny fraction you take represents the same picture you have got to start thinking that there is a pattern of sorts emerging. I have to clear up that I am not taking sides but I mean even the Republicans are splintering from within as republicans in congress seem to be down the middle in this issue.

I for one think that the financial well being of present and future generations of Americans needs to be the chief concern of the "leaders" that we elected to serve us. Get to work you ass clowns, the country is tired of waiting and even more tired of excuses.
