Fiscal cliff? we're beyond that

the news of late has been about the fiscal cliff. Its imaginary. Its like the day the sherriff tacks to forclosure notice on the door. Its immaterial. We are past the point of no return. We are like the aged man who in his prime, and with a good job, health, and boundless energy spent what he made, and indulged on his credit. Now he (we) are aging, we no longer have the energy, or the ability to make money, but we still have the debt of our crazyness, and saddly, an appetite for the free spending.
America's financial troubles don't start on Dec 20, or what ever day we hit the debt limit, the fact is we cannot pay our bills and haven't been able to for years. Lots of those expenditures are wasteful, and paying people who don't work is as big a waste as bribing our enemies to pretend they are our friends.
THE GOP fucked us. They have prevented tax increases for years because that is what we wanted, or what we thought we wanted when what we needed was spending limits. Had the fools we exported to Washington blocked spending, tax rates would have been immaterial. Had they impeached worthless judges, we would not be handing OUR money to illegals.
WE. ARE. SCREWED. PERIOD!

Yep. But we will never get the lamestream media to say that.
