Fiscal cliff is dubious

Which term two months ago most accurately described the case: fiscal cliff, fiscal slope, etc, etc, etc?

Not dubious: the media's talking heads freaked out and their doing so attracted viewers.

Dubious: whether the sources now are lying, their identities, and most importantly their interests.

Years ago I heard an economics professor say the debt didn't concern him because "we owe it to each other" when in truth most of us owed it to a few of us. Most in the class loudly booed him.

Remember:

1) A Demo administration lied us into a war in Viet Nam and a few of us profited,

2) A Repub administration lied us into a war in Iraq and a few of us profited, and

3) Our blue-green algae/cyanobacteria/pond scum ancestors ate their neighbors without guilt and we resulted.

And so I ask, "The evidence?"

Will the now-forming organization, The Can Kicks Back, survive? Google it.

LOL Anti-immigrant conservatives weren't anticipating this result of their maneuvering.

Looming Cuts Spur Release of Illegal Immigrants

In a highly unusual move, federal immigration officials have released hundreds of detainees from immigration detention centers around the country in an effort to save money as automatic budget cuts loom in Washington, officials said.

The government has not dropped the deportation cases against the immigrants, however: The detainees have been freed on supervised release while their cases continue in court, officials said.

You expect them to just show up to be railroaded and deported. Good luck with that.
