A Congressional Budget Office study in May estimated that the fiscal cliff would force tax hikes and spending cuts totaling over $600 billion in the first nine months of next year ? or perhaps $800 billion or so over the entire year if allowed to stay in effect. |
Oh okay...when they said "600 billion over the next ten years" on CNN I thought they meant exactly that.
I see what you're saying now.
In that case...let's go! A year or so ago when they passed this thing they were proclaiming it as great. And reading that link you just posted...I agree.
It sounds like it would really cut our debt.
As I've said before...IF the govt. will really cut spending and raise taxes for everyone...then I don't mind paying my share.
I just don't want to pay more taxes if most people are not AND the govt. is still spending like a drunken sailor.
Looking at that link you gave...I think the "fiscal cliff" just might be the most patriotic thing we can do to save this country from financial ruin.
