The (my) fiscal cliff

Today the press is all a-twitter about the impending fiscal cliff and what will happen when we all fall off.. It appears that that fall will cost each of us around $2500.  That's an extra $5000 that my household will have to cough up... and I say that literally.  Obamacare is so wonderful that our health insurance will cost a mere $1200 a month when the new year rings in and that includes a $1000 deductible for each of us.....cough-cough!  The only way to stop our plunge is to play well together in the congressional sandbox and get along well enough to build some bipartisan structures and programs. We may very well catch colds from each other or maybe even the flu but Obamacare will have that covered.  Elections are over and it's time that Johnny, Barry and the other kids in Congress get their act together and do what they know has to be done to stop the financial bleeding and start to heal the wound.  I think if the "It's mine, no, it's mine" mentality is set aside, it can be done. After all, it's not really any of theirs, it's ours!!! (and if it can't be accomplished outside in the fresh air, go inside and sit in time out....we really don't care how you get it done at this point!!)
