1 January 2013 The ,,Fiscal Cliff’’

Folks,

As you let the Bubbly flow for the New Year 2013, as you listen to President Obama saying ,,A Deal is within Reach,’’ as you try to make sense of all this,

Forget about Reaganomics,
Forget about Clintonomics,
Forget about Bush whatever ,,Nomics’’ (Bush, George W., not Bush, Herbert G. W.)
Forget about Obamanamics,

what these Guys are doing is just not fair.

You cannot have, one cannot have, this Country cannot afford what George Herbert W. Bush called what all this actually is, what he called it, by its real Name:

,,Voodoo Economics.’’

Simply put, you cannot lower Taxes, go to War in two Countries, engage in Bailouts of astronomic Proportions, attempt to get out of the most severe Recession since the Great Depression (which no one dares call a Depression) plus do all of the ,,Regular Government Business’’ and allow the Stock Market to go up to 13.000 Points due to, among other Factors, Tax Cuts, Wholesale Tax Loopholes and the Largesse of the Federal Reserve Bank, a Policy which Mr. Bernanke calls ,,Quantitative Easing.’’

Write or call your Senator.  Write or call your Congressman.  Inform The White House of what you think, regardless of whether you agree with the Opinions or the Policies advocated here.

No Matter how much the Members of Congress and the President are getting paid and they are getting paid more than most Americans, their Inability, Unwillingness or Failure to deal with this Issue in a fundamental Manner, other than the Quilt Patchwork Approach which has become ,,Modus Operandi’’ they are, measured by any Corporate or other Performance Standards, getting paid too much.

Remember, any Announcement of a Deal being reached is premature and not really indicative of what is happening.  Assuming the Deal to let the Bush (George W.) Tax Cuts expire for those earning more than $ 400.000,00 and $ 450.000,00 respecdtively, along with the indispensable Social Security (Payroll) and Inheritance Tax Increases, there are still enormous Issues ahead:  ,,Sequestration’’ and increasing the Debt Ceiling Limit.

Write.  Write today.  Write tonight.  It could be the most important New Years' Message or Resolution you have made.
