[lbo-talk] "Fiscal Cliff"

[Curtis Vaughan]

I was going to write to Doug, but then I realized why not ask the whole
LBO list.

I've been rather skeptical about this whole "fiscal cliff" talk in the
press. All the more so anything my local Seattle Times deems critical is
probably not. In fact it's quite interesting that the words are always put
in quotes. As if to say, "the so-called 'fiscal cliff'."

Over the past week I recall listening to one person express why he
believed it a crock, and then there was an article I read, in which
another chap expressed skepticism over the reality of any fiscal cliff.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen and can't seem to find an article to the
affect that yeh, this is in fact all hogwash or a ploy, but which analyses
the reasons why it is. Anyone seen such an article that is worthy of
attention?

Thanks.
