We're trying to get our NC house ready to move in. New kitchen, baths, deck, railings, paint, hardwood, carpet, etc. Going slow, especially since it's 500 miles from our Jersey place, and the wife and I are doing all the work. One more season (spring, summer, early fall) for my Awning company, and we shut down, put the Jersey place on the market, and get out of there.

Do you think country will implode (job losses) or just another phony fiscal cliff scenario w/bandaid quick fix at the last minute?

Very little of the first and definitely a lot of phony fiscal cliff like BS. And the world will turn and nothing will change. Have a drink and a smoke and be happy that you're not Irish. 🍺

Maybe I'm just a little p*ssed at all the crying government employees and their poor sob stories they keep playing on TV. Many of them come across as elitists that shouldn't have to tighten their belts during a time of economic turn down. Ask them, and I bet you would find that many would be fine with raising taxes further on the struggling private sector, forcing more folks into suffering and poverty, as long as it means them keeping their inflated salaries and benefits.

It not just sob stories......If sequestration is allowed to happen, we will be forced to eliminate all police, firepersons, and teachers and EL Quada, Mexico and Canada will invade and take over the USA due to our depleted military and carve it up into Spanish, French, and Arabic sectors.

This will happen without tax increases.

Dude, the years I made 80k, I gave a ton of money away, and still had way more then I needed. Even the 60k years I had considerable excess. Maybe that's why I can now make it on $25k, while paying all my bills and still enjoying cigars.

Folks making $80k that can't get by on $60k, only have themselves to blame.
