...and off the cliff we go

I agree. Fire the bunch of lil bitches. Im so sick of this country I could puke !

Hey Jackass Aussie - with no guns "they" can do whatever they want to our economy ! BTW, the "if I can't have a gun, no one else should should have one either" bitch doesn't work here.
You guys gave up your rights a long time ago.

Can someone please explain to me in simple English what is going to happen in 2013?

Taxes are going to increase for everyone? So that means paychecks will be less because more taxes will be withheld?

I'm not comprehending all this fiscal cliff talk.

On C Span now ...

This shit is so fricking staged.

I think we might feel a little differently about the "helping out our own brethren" if it weren't taken advantage of, and maybe appreciated more..

And the "defense" looks suspiciously like offense..

Time to go lootin. Cya at Walmart!

You got it buddy. Smaller paychecks for all, more expensive medical care and supplies, less jobs, more debt, want me to keep going?

cool story bro

tell it to the mega rich corps. who keep on outsourcing your jobs overseas..

Much more. Just wait if you haven't figured it out by now.

It's not my country. I don't know how it will play out.

It has to go through Congress as well doesn't it?

U dumbf

Democrats may blame the Republicans, and Republicans may blame the Democrats, but one thing is for certain....

Barack Hussein Obama II will be known as the President
that was responsible for the biggest tax increase in American
history.

You havent seen ANYTHING yet !!!!!!!!!!!! The morons that voted yobamma in , I promise will be sorry lol What comes around,goes around ;)

Congress has to vote on it as well today.

Do you know how many decades this has been said in America sunny?

Shut up already, it got old in the 70s. Doing something about it is a good idea, but is not going to happen. This is going to be a long drawn out death, it has already been going on slowly since 1914, and before.

Even with a plan, taxes will be going up. That much we already know.

That was said about many other presidents as well. And year after year another pawn takes his place, and raises it again. In 4 years, another president will come along, and raise it again, and you will get to say your stupid little phraze again, about some other pawn.

The Pledge is involved in this somewhere.

Congress still has to vote.

They pledged not to put up taxes. People earning over $450k will have their taxes going up.

I don't know how that will play out or how they will vote.

Sequestration still comes in in two months time.

That's another event on the horizon.

Cuts in defence etc.

LOL

Here are the known details of the deal:

Tax rates: Current tax rates will be extended for all wage earners making below $400,000 and couples making below $450,000.
This was a key concession for both Republicans and Democrats. Democrats wanted the threshold for tax increases to rest at $250,000 and Republicans didn't want marginal tax rates to increase for anyone.

The estate tax: It was set to increase from rom 35 percent to 55 percent in 2013. Instead, the compromise sets the new rate at 40 percent with the first $5 million worth of property exempt from being taxed.
Capital gains tax: Capital gains and dividend tax rates will increase from 15 to 20 percent.
Alternative Minimum Tax: A permanent fix to the tax that would hit middle class families
"Doc Fix": Doctors will be shielded from a massive reimbursement gap for treating Medicare patients.
Unemployment benefits: Unemployed workers will receive their benefits which expired over the weekend.
Renewable energy tax credit: The tax credit for renewable energy companies will be extended for another year.
