Fiscal Cliff

Both President Obama and Speaker Boehner have indicated that they are willing to compromise to avoid "going over the cliff", but they have also both "drawn lines in the sand" over issues that they won't change. Unfortunately they are basically the same ones that caused this mess. The biggest one being tax rates for the wealthy. Despite the election results (and the polls) that show that a majority of Americans think the rich should pay more, Boehner and the rest of the Republican in Congress will not consider it. So here we go again.
