Look Out Below

We are all heading for what has come to be known as the ‘fiscal cliff’ if congress fails to act before the end of the year. These are major economic issues that if left unchecked will significantly damage any possibility of any economic recovery and lead us back into recession. Yet, in spite of doing almost nothing we ask them to do, they take five weeks off and couldn’t even agree on a vote as to whether or not they should leave. Enough bickering. Enough delay. Americans, should we fire the lot of them?
