I'm washing my hands of the so called "fiscal cliff"

The whole thing is a bullshit manufactured crises concerning an alleged problem which isn't even that serious anyway. It isn't even a cliff at all, in fact. In any event, I just can't intellectually or emotionally make it the equivalent of what has just happened in Newtown. Maybe you can, but I can't do it.

Newtown changed everything. I don't really care about any other issue right now, especially phony manufactured "crises" like the "fiscal cliff" (quotes used on purpose for mockery).
