Just shy of 60 days and counting until we reach the "Fiscal Cliff" and automatic cuts kick in.

In the next 56 days you're going to see examples of exactly what the Democratic and Republican parties are made of and how the President chooses to use the power of his re-election.

Will Democratic leadership slay the Austerity beast...or will it feed?

A storekeeper I knew used to open up a new checkout aisle by chanting "This way! No line or waiting!"

Weeks before the re-inauguration of the President, you will already have a damned good idea how good or bad your next decade as a middle-class American is going to be.

And quick!

This way! No line or waiting!

1. I agree. Let the tax cuts expire first. Then start negotiating. There is no other way to do this.
