Cartoon Government Urgently Discusses FIAT CLIFF

commentary by Roger Erickson

Does watching grownups in Congress tie themselves in knots over a FIAT CLIFF remind you of someone?

Like Friar Tuck & Robin Hood (aka, Porky Pig & Daffy Duck) ?

Senate negotiators yet to reach 'fiscal cliff' deal as clock winds down
Vice President Joseph Biden and Sen. Mitch McConnell were locked in urgent talks late Sunday over the “fiscal cliff” after Democrats offered several significant concessions on taxes, including a proposal to raise rates only on earnings over $450,000 a year.

I mean, really! Don't they know the electorate is watching?

You have to wonder what Biden & McConnell were discussing so urgently. Maybe a "buck & a quarter" staff? :(

Maybe they're actually trying to raise the Unenjoyment Rate? And failing, because our government has become a joke?  Daft Lame Duck & the Fiat Cliff?  Have their agent call Warner Bros.  And add a clause about raising the Minimum Rage while they're at it.
