I know a slope isn't as scary as a cliff; so I guess that's why the GOP is using "cliff" because they LOVE hyperbole. I mean think about it...
You're driving down the road at 70 mph and there is a cliff. That's pretty damn scary, some ol' wile e coyote stuff. But, if you're driving down the road at 70 mph and there is a slope, no big deal - you just keep on driving.
Maybe I'm wrong on this and I should be planning like one of those dudes on Doomsday Preppers.
Thoughts?

Here ya go....Krugman: "It’s worth pointing out that the fiscal cliff isn’t really a cliff. It’s not like the debt-ceiling confrontation, where terrible things might well have happened right away if the deadline had been missed. This time, nothing very bad will happen to the economy if agreement isn’t reached until a few weeks or even a few months into 2013. So there’s time to bargain. " Relax!

Okay, I just cancelled my fall out shelter order.

Not having to build a fallout shelter will save a bit of cash. I was going to spend everything before the world ended, but it turns out the Mayan calendar was just getting to halftime or something. Crap. So, I paid bills this morning.
