Is anybody else annoyed at the spam use of the term "fiscal cliff?" I can't even listen to the news now.

(e: not that I really could before)

My biggest complaint is, when have we not been on the edge of a fiscal cliff in the past 10 years?  They keep saying we are, then raise the debt ceiling and all of our problems disappear for a year in a magical cloud of pixie dust.

Just as signing up for another credit card solves your debt problems every year?

Essentially.  I think the same people that grew up in the U.S. working a $25,000 a year job and buying corvettes and 60" inch plasma TV's on credit they didn't have, must have went on to have successful careers and senators and congressmen.
