I'm 'iffing' sick and tired of the term 'Fiscal Cliff'

[WI_DEM]

Anytime I put on the news it's 'another day closer to going over the fiscal cliff' What a bunch of nonsensical MSM/GOP bull used to delude or scare Americans.

"It's crazy, the way that we created this crisis out of thin air, when the government is able to borrow at just about the lowest interest rates in history," Paul Krugman told the NPR show On Point on Tuesday, referring to the fiscal cliff, a set of tax hikes and spending cuts scheduled to take place on Jan. 1, assuming Congress and the Obama administration don't reach a deal to avert it.

"The idea we should be obsessed with the deficit right now is insane," he said.

1. You and me both. I am SO sick of it.

If I never hear it again it will be too soon.

2. Republicans wanted to cut social services

but lost the election. So they've created a faux "emergency" to try to still get what they want.

I'm tired of hearing about it too.

3. I like how Chris Hayes

refers to it "The Fiscal Curb"!

4. The fact they have hijacked the debate language AGAIN!

There is no fucking cliff but everyone is talking about it

5. It was immediately bought into by Democrats. Our folks insist on playing the game on

the TeaPubliKlans terms. They accept the frame every time and then the debate is within their fabricated constructs.
There is never a competing narrative but rather a pre-compromised alternative handling of their premise.
