What the fuck??? That means this horrible, dreadful "fiscal cliff" (that Congress was saying was a great thing just a year ago), will only cut the spending by $60 billion a year.
What a fucking joke.
The Feds are spending 10.6 billion dollars a DAY.
That means that with this big, bad "fiscal cliff" they will only cut what they spend in 5 days for the whole year.
Washington D.C. is nothing more than a pack of thieves. Career politicians who don't know how to stop spending.

Where did you see that?
The "fiscal cliff" includes
$7 trillion worth of tax increases and spending cuts over a decade. would lead to the biggest single-year drop in the annual deficit as a percent of the economy since 1969.
