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.

600 billion over 10 yrs might be the automatic sequestering from the debt ceiling raising deal last year. but that combined with payroll tax increase, bush tax cuts expiring (income + capital gains), plus whatever else its a whole big number a year
