Inability to decide threatens country While it is good that the so-called “fiscal cliff” was avoided, the manner in which it happened just goes to show how much of a failure the current Washington culture has become. The deal raises taxes on some, ends tax holidays for others and will shrink paychecks for most of us. The fact that there is a deal that somehow scraped up enough votes to pass is good. The bad part is the deal was only reached after we had technically fallen off the cliff. The deadline had passed and nothing had been done. It seems Congress is no longer content to grandstand until the very last minute then reach a deal, they now have to go over the last minute. Both parties share equal parts blame. And, in case you were curious, Kansas Rep. Tim Huelskamp voted against the deal while Sens. Jerry Moran and Pat Roberts voted in favor. The other problem with the deal is that it doesn’t fix the problem. As one CNN columnist put it, it pretty much kicks the can down the road. We expect three more “showdowns” in our future, on spending cuts, debt ceiling and a continuing budget resolution. Spending cuts will be a problem because no one will follow the sequestration agreement, the debt ceiling is a problem because no one will let the limit be a real limit, and the budget will be a problem because no one will want to agree on anything. That’s not even the worst part. The worst part is the Speaker of the House’s refusal to allow a vote on disaster relief for states affected by Hurricane Sandy. Rep. John Boehner faced a lot of criticism for the decision, especially from a very blunt New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, and, seeing which way the wind was blowing, the Speaker reversed course, opening the bill back up Thursday. Likely not because he cares about disaster relief, but Time to take down the decorations more because he’s in fear for his political career. Come Sunday, it’ll be time to take down the And the tree.
