Congress, having now apparently averted the Fiscal Cliff at the last possible second, announced its plans for the coming year. It consisted of the following

1.       Create a fiscal sink hole

2.       Create a fiscal culvert

3.       Create a fiscal Tsunami

4.       Create a fiscal Hurricane

5.       Create a fiscal Nightmare

6.       Create a fiscal Tornado

7.       Create a fiscal Earthquake

8.       Create a fiscal Armageddon

According to Senate Minority leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker John Boehner , “Creating these unnecessary catastrophes will require the full attention of both the House and Senate for the next year. We certainly will not have any time left over to actually try to solve any of these, or do anything else this year.”
