Stop the dog and pony shows and let it go. Let all the libtards that have complained and a fit about Bush tax cuts for years and a commie pres that campaigned and always hates tax cuts because they do not work. So just let it GO over the cliff and that way all will pay the price and suffer the pain - all the commies that voted for this clown, all the people that STAYED home because this country just was not worth it and just enjoy all you fools. At least there will not just be some that pay the price.
