I know some people really dislike political threads, so this is your warning to go check out a different one ;)
So, I'm trying to understand. The "Fiscal Cliff" was the tax expirations and sequestration both set to happen starting Jan 1, 2013. The deal that was put together early on Jan 1 was regarding all the tax stuff, right? There was absolutely nothing done for the sequestration thing. They just decided to extend the deadline again. Which I thought they had proclaimed as unextendable in the first place?
What exactly was the point in the major freakout and furlough notifications and whatnot if congress was never intending to stick to the deadline in the first place?? And how exactly is the debt crisis supposed to ever get handled when they just continually say they'll handle it next month, year, etc?
I feel like the word incomprehensible was made up solely for this situation.
