We already went over a fiscal cliff.
And Americans are not serious about any of this anyway.
No one is willing to make themselves an example & stock the teat sucking.
They complain about everybody else’s teat sucking, but suck alongside them.
It’s ridiculous.
As long as the Federal government is TAXING people for Social Security & Medicare, you’ll never stop any of this.
The Federal govt has no power that says they have the right to confiscate our money to pay it in retirement benefits to others.
This is such a scam.
And they will come after private retirement accounts.
I’m counting on it.

THE LEFT OWNS THIS MESS

Reid & company have not balanced the budget for how many years?
And the demoncrats refused to deal with this in any way during the reelection of Barrack Hussein Obama.
Not to mention the fact the the MSN was not interested in talking about his crap economy, let alone the so called “fiscal cliff” until the day after the election.
So … why is this suddenly important to them now?
Oh yeah, because it confirms that socialism is the reason for the so called “fiscal cliff” and this fact cannot be hidden by historical revisionists. Especially in the age of the internet.

Asked another way, 65 percent say leaders in Congress should find a compromise to reduce the budget deficit, even if that means Democrats would need to accept targeted spending cuts to Social Security and Medicare, and that Republicans would need to accept targeted increases in tax rates.

Well of course! Nobody ever thinks their group is in the targeted group whose pet entitlement is cut, or the targeted group whose taxes will be raised. As a single white male with no children, non-homeowner, who makes enough to live, but would be strained to take on any new debt (new car - Cash for Clunkers, any of the tax credits for new, energy efficient appliances, etc.) I'm still waiting to find out when I'm going to be in the target for relief. Besides the targeted group for having my money stolen, that is.

Polling an electorate that has twice elected a communist is as useless as they are.
We live in a “Jay Walking” country.

I want to read and hear about only two poles: one pole that gets shoved up Obama’s a**, and a second pole that gets shoved up Harry Reid’s a**.

Oh. The headline is about a poll. Well, I still want to read and hear about those other two poles.

The proposed tax increase on the “rich” is 11%. I wonder what the response would have been if the question was: Would YOU be willing to pay 11% more in taxes as part of a compromise?

Somebody needs to teach Obama what compromise means.

The ‘public’ are by a large a bunch of idiots who haven’t the foggiest notion of what the fiscal cliff is and to whom the word ‘compromise’ is a sort of meaningless magic mantra (kind of like ‘moderate’). Of course they want compromise. COmpromise sounds nice. Compromise sounds, moderate and calm. Compromise sounds like something no one could possibly be against.

Compromise sounds reasonable, like Obama saying, “I think the (unnamed and unknown ‘rich person with whom none of us has a personal relationship) should pay a little more.” Of course that sounds reasonable, because this unknown unnamed rich person isn’t you and whoever he is, surely he wouldn’t mind paying a little more.
