Will America fall off the fiscal cliff or will Obama/Congress agree on a budget in 32 days?

Each guy on Obama right & ;left need to go home for good ..we have to have term limits on congress and the senate

Agreed.

They will compromise and avoid the cliff, but will NOT come up with a real budget.

We have already fallen off, we are free falling now.

lol

We don't have 32 days left the world is going to end.

I forget about that.

Probably not. Republicans can't be that stupid. They lost. They are not going to win this battle.

We'll b fine, albeit - last minute/wire deal.

If Obama's a smart man he'll go off the Cliff.I would rather go off the Chiff instead of making a Bad Deal with this Congress.Paul Ryan has called for Compromise LMAO.Now he wants to Compromise.I wouldnt trust him as far as i could throw him.

i usually get kissed before i get phucked

no; it's crashing..

Imho - about all some of the stuff via the msm is!

What about we bring back the line item veto?

good idea

I come up with a good one every now and then.

Harry Reid's Senate has rejected five separate budget plans submitted by the House and even Obama himself!

lol, it is only a fiscal cliff for the wealthy

wake up and smell the coffee; if the business owners collapse; who are you gonna work for?
how will you afford the gas or electricity?
how will you afford the prices in food and goods.
this is not just about money for the rich; this fiscal cliff covers the poor and everyone

the wealthy ARE NOT BUSINESS OWNERS. they are investors and cop a free ride from their investments. the only people left employing anyone in mass numbers in this country are the mom and pop shops

Really? Since when? Granted most rich folk r ceo's & such ............... but there ARE still wealthy business owners out there, as well as mom/pop businesses

read below

WELL SAID

wow; I hope you have a list of all the poor people in America that own businesses; and excuse me; who created all the business; and invested in the original cost of opening the business?
I need that list of all the poor people that own businesses that qualify under the US Govt's list of who qualify to be poor....waiting....tick tick

“The data show that, across sectors, 66 percent of new establishments were still in existence 2 years after their birth, and 44 percent were still in existence 4 years after. It is not surprising that most of the new establishments disappeared within the first 2 years after their birth, and then only a smaller percentage disappeared in the subsequent 2 years. These survival rates do not vary much by industry.”
also this is a common practice of the work force commission
quote:"With a recent shift in focus towards stricter employee misclassification enforcement, it is becoming increasingly crucial to evaluate your approach before doing business with independent contractors and small businesses." unquote

that was from their own mouths. to me, they are saying to only do business with big corps. with such a toxic view on how they treat small business. it is no wonder they fail so much and place people in the POOR house. your turn "tick.. tick.."

I like what Jay Leno said last night..it's not a fiscal cliff
it's "Broke-A$$ Mountain"
there's a simple equation that any lib can understand..I say; let her fall; and we'll pick up the pieces..

i see you didn't argue the facts

let me say this; I am right..and you are mistaken
simple; you know like Obama tells the GOP all the time

don't kid yourself. I show facts .you talk smack. that does not make you correct

just following the lead of Barry; brother
the Messiah knows; everybody else blows; right?

look i know politicians lie. I get it, but what I also am showing you is what the repubs are stating as fact is 100% wrong

sorry; but nothing is !00% right or !00% wrong in politics..it's a judgement call either way; you believe what you will as will I...good night..

good night

How many "businesses" are there in the U.S.? Well, in 2007 over 31 million U.S. business entities will file income tax returns - a figure that has been growing at a rate of around 3% annually. Of the total, over 22 million represents self employed individuals (many of whom also have other full-time employment) including around 900,000 real estate agents, close to 700,000 nannies, and nearly 1 million direct sales ventures such as Amway and Mary Kay Cosmetics. Many of these business entities represent part-time or hobby ventures. But similar to beauty, what constitutes a "business" is ultimately in the eyes of the beholder.

>> In total there are 31 million businesses, of which 22 million are self-employed. So 9 million businesses are 2 persons and larger.

In the past year, the debt limit has been increased more than once. Each time, no austerity measures were instituted.

There will be no changes. Since there is no real opposition in Congress, this administration has no incentive to stop increasing its spending.

austerity does not work without taxation or infrastructure rebuilding

IMHO......the American people will be screwed without a kiss either way.

Don't think they'll agree on a budget OR go over the fiscal speed-bump. Think the tax measures will pass andother bdget items (much more complex) will be deferred over next year. Debt limit will remain as R's leverage to seriously address expense side of ledger.
