So, here’s the plan.  The incompetent fools in Washington, who created a huge mess, are reduced to gathering in a circle pointing fingers at each other.  There is no real fiscal cliff, just an artificial deadline developed by people who finally admitted that they are incapable of intelligent decision making without a life changing crisis to prod them into action.  So they tried to create their own life changing crisis, but botched that too, because this clearly wasn’t frightening enough to do the job.

The plan for the New Year is for the same clowns who brought us this nightmare to work feverishly into the night to figure out a way to fix the problems they created.  I am not overly optimistic about the process.

So here’s my plan.  Let sign a petition preventing the House or the Senate from passing any legislation for the next twelve months.  Let’s add a provision preventing President Obama from issuing any executive orders, unless we are attacked, for the next twelve months.  Finally, let’s give the Supreme Court a twelve month vacation.  If we can just prevent congress and the President from trying to fix problems themselves, I think we have a real shot.  My hunch is that the really smart people, none of whom live anywhere near Washington DC, will figure this out and get us back on track.

Ronald Reagan pointed this out in his Inaugural Address on January 20, 1981:

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.

This is just as true today as it was in 1981.
