The Fiscal Cliff talks: a framework emerges

[ZahZoo]

Appears to me we're back to playing a game of chicken... neither party will blink or swerve at the last minute. Let it crash and see if anyone walks or crawls away to claim victory or at least point fingers of blame.

Pathetic... on all sides.

[POJO_Risin]

If we're to be honest here...I actually think Boehner and Obama could get a deal done today...

It's the masses behind them that are pissed off that either side moved in the slightest towards a compromise that's keeping this deal from happening.

They need to be held accountable...all of them...

[BITEYOASS]

Hence why this two-party system is all fucked up. Why the progressives or Paul fans waste time with the nomination process is beyond me.

Looks like "Weeper of the House" John Boner the drunk is driving us all off the fiscal cliff:

It's not just Boner, it's his psychotic fringe element of teabaggers essentially scuttling things and further contributing to the future unelectability of the Republican Party...

It's more than just the "teabaggers..."

although that's a big part of it...

As per the two-party system...well...only one way to fix that...

lol...move to another country...

Well, we tried to remove the shit, but the repukes gerrymandered the sewer.

when Clinton was asked how he could balance the budget he had a simple answer: "arithmetic"

and that seems to be the problem for the republicans. their only mantra is "no taxes, no taxes, no taxes" didn't work for Reagan, didn't work for the Bushes...if shit doesn't work, it just doesn't work...simple as that...

Why do these assholes always wait until the last minute to get down to business on stuff like this fiscal cliff bs? They've had months to work on this and get a deal done, but they wait until a day or two before the deadline to have serious negotiations. They always do the same with the debt ceiling. Lazy, worthless, procrastinating, no account motherfuckers. They all need to be thrown out on their corrupt asses.

[Little Texan]

The fiscal cliff bill just passed in the Senate 89-8.
