The Fiscal Cliff

President Obama and Speaker of the House, John Boehner, met again today to discuss the fiscal cliff.
But, there still there is no progress. Boehner says the government must reduce spending. some interesting statistics: If taxes would be raised on the "rich" as defined by the Obama administration, it would only account for 8 days of government spending and less than 1% of America's $16 trillion debt (stats courtesy of Jesse Watters). Clearly, raising taxes won't do the trick. Democrats and Republicans need to put party politics aside and lead this country!
