So, here\u2019s the plan.\u00a0 The incompetent fools in Washington, who created a huge mess, are reduced to gathering in a circle pointing fingers at each other.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 So they tried to create their own life changing crisis, but botched that too, because this clearly wasn\u2019t frightening enough to do the job.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 I am not overly optimistic about the process.<\/p>\n

So here\u2019s my plan.\u00a0 Let sign a petition preventing the House or the Senate from passing any legislation for the next twelve months.\u00a0 Let\u2019s add a provision preventing President Obama from issuing any executive orders, unless we are attacked, for the next twelve months.\u00a0 Finally, let\u2019s give the Supreme Court a twelve month vacation.\u00a0 If we can just prevent congress and the President from trying to fix problems themselves, I think we have a real shot.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Ronald Reagan pointed this out in his Inaugural Address on January 20, 1981:<\/p>\n

In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is just as true today as it was in 1981.<\/p>\n
