"Fiscal Cliff" - Increasingly Likely & Desirable? | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 27134790  United States11/29/2012 02:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Honest question----what would happen if the fed, rather our government, decided not to renew their charter which expires before the 'cliff' arrives? Wouldn't that kinda make the cliff a non-issue? I ask because with all the crazy stuff they are doing in Washington, I would have to believe it is a possibility since I haven't heard anyone speak of the fed's charter ending, and when you hear nothing, expect something. Anyone? |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28008747 United States11/29/2012 03:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Isn't there anything the President can do by executive order in times like this? The partisan BS is sickening. Who the hell elected this Grover Norquist guy anyway? Oh, he's not an elected official? Fuck him. Those who signed his idiot pledge should step up and agree that taxes aren't all evil and a few extra grand a year is not even going to put a dent in someone making $150,000 never mind $250,000. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1283316 its almost like the things our prez does are to intentionally kill our nation *wink wink* Oh, and by the way as of mid January, Obama will no longer be an "elected official". He lost the election you know, that's why they were forced to be so obvious in their trickery in Ohio etc. to make the numbers add up for him. They had hoped more subtle cheating would have been enough and not exposed them to so much embarrassment as they have now. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 28621700 United States11/29/2012 04:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Simple solution: Financial Transactions Tax. A .001% fee on all stock, commodity, and FX market transactions would bring in over a $Trillion per year. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 2164937 Effect on markets would be negligible, and would reduce computer HFT (high frequency trading) that presently controls and distorts the markets. Since everything is automated, the tax could be automatically deducted and electronically remitted directly to the IRS. Problem solved. Dang, that makes too much sence. Theyll never do it. How would they manipulate the markets >>? |

Quoting: anonanon 4148733 Perhaps it is time to just let it all collapse and then rebuild. We know if we just give those in DC and the White House more money, they will just spend it and waste it on all sorts of things and all sorts of crazy grants and earmarked projects added on to every bill in Congresss. You can bet it will not be just the "rich" who pay for it. It is Obama's disaster now....no more blaming Bush. ^^that^^+1000 King Barry said he inherited a disaster from bush when he was elected the first time. This time he will inherit a much bigger mess. I wonder who will get the blame this time?  Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. "America is at that awkward stage.
