I read Newt Gingrich: Fiscal Cliff is an 'artificial invention'. Gingrich is saying that the fiscal cliff is completely made up by Washington just to receive votes for different things. He says he doesn't believe that that is the way the country should be ran, pushing everything together and trying to deal with it last minute by vote. I think we are close to falling off the cliff because people have pushed decisions back to group them into one package. I think they did this so they could put up an offer you can't refuse and would have to vote for to solve the problem, then it will have some consequence or result that you wouldn't necessarily like.
ReplyDeleteI read Graham: 'We're going over the cliff'. Graham believes that America will go over the cliff. He didn't like Obama's first offer about the fiscal cliff deal, saying that it didn't take the expensive entitlements like Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security, seriously. I think we are close of falling off the edge. Not only are there people like Graham who do not agree with how President Obama wants to fix the fiscal cliff, there are also problems with everything that is and is not being taken into consideration. I personally believe that they need to look very carefully into what would happen if we did fall off the cliff and make sure to include how to fix what the consequences would be in the deals that they make.
ReplyDeleteI read Sen. Lindsey Graham: "We're going over the cliff." When Graham was asked what he made of Obama's initial offer on a fiscal cliff deal, he said, "I think we're going over the cliff." He slammed the President's proposal saying it doesn't seriously tackle expensive entitlements. I believe we could in fact fall off this "Fiscal Cliff" into another economic depression.
ReplyDeleteI read Lindsey Graham.Graham says that we are going over the fiscal cliff. He was asked about what Obama is doing about it and he replied saying basically that it was too late. Or at least that is how I took it. He highly disagreed with the Presidents idea to prevent us from going over. He said that we could fall back into another depression.
ReplyDeleteI read Lindsey Graham. Graham believes we are going off the cliff. He doesn't agree with Obama's proposal, and says it can't tackle the expensive problems. I think the president and office needs to seriously look into this, and consider what will happen if they don't fix the debt so we don't go off the fiscal cliff. We will go into chaos if by January we end up going off the fiscal cliff.
ReplyDeleteI read Sherman: "No fiscal cliff solution in sight". This was about how we all should still be scared and that it's getting worse. We are getting close to falling off the fiscal cliff because not much is being done toward breaking the cause. One thing Obama wanted to do was extend the middle-income tax rates.
ReplyDeleteI read "Newt Gingrich: Fiscal cliff is an 'artificial invention'". The article is about how Mr. Gingrich thinks that the fiscal cliff is not real and it is created by the government. He believes that all of the problems can be simplified and solved on their own, that they all don't have to be stacked together and solved by one date. In my opinion, we are close to the fiscal cliff. I think that we are close because we have procrastinated and have pushed all of our problems back to the last possible date. Even now, our politicians are still debating on what we should do and are being stubborn and are not compromising. I think that if we fall of the cliff, it's our own fault.
