    The fiscal cliff doesn't matter, writes The Brooklyn Investor. Selling stocks because you are worried about it is a mistake; so is buying because you think it will be resolved. To help ignore the noise, he says, think of Buffett's 20-hole punchcard - invest as if you'll only ever be allowed to make 20 decisions.

  • Republicans goal is to starve the govt, partially by giving tax breaks to the richest Americans, thereby making it impossible to balance the budget unless entitlements are cut, resulting in the haves employing the have nots for slave wages. The plantation boss, the plantation!

  • Yup, starve the beast. Gridlock is good for the country. Keeps each side from overreaching.

  • There are no words to describe how creepy these guys are in Washington.

    They have spent us into a hole, and will not, indeed, cannot, stop funding their personal life styles at the expense of the American Taxpayers.

    Think about it. We have just gone through an election cycle. Why would someone spend a BILLION dollars to gain an office which pays less than $500,000?

    Greed, ego and graft. When you are living like a king, why would you vote to change any of that?

    Kick the can down the road. Is there anyone who doesn't believe otherwise?
