The Approaching Fiscal Cliff: How do you see it playing out?

[Joshua Dorkin]

I'm curious to get feedback from others on how they see the approaching fiscal cliff playing out. I realize this will get political, but this is a serious matter and I think it is one we should be talking about.

My $.02...

Just like has happened several times in the recent past with similar deadlines, the two sides will come together at the last minute, work out a deal that neither side claims to be very happy about, and which will ultimately just "kick the can down the road" to be worried about at a later time...

Rinse and repeat. Unfortunately.
