Fiscal Cliff - Economic Revision or Transmogrification

This will, in all likelihood, be a short term thread. As soon as there is a resolution to the fiscal cliff conundrum interest will soon fade. However, it is an important issue. And, even though there is not much we can do to affect the outcome, the choices made by Congress in this short period of time will have long lasting consequences for us all.

Off topic discussion will be tolerated as long as there is a reasonable segue into it and it doesn't take the thread down a dark path or an unending journey, incongruous with the subject matter.

Standard rules apply concerning civility. If the post's subject matter includes an attack on a fellow SI user's character, then it is an affront to the rest of the participants to allow it to continue. After the first warning, expect to be banned.
