Drink and make merry America, for come January...

Not unlike two lovers who find themselves in a death spiral, Democrats and Republicans cannot seem to find a way to work together and the Great Divider Obama is not helping matters.

Let's face some facts. One, we will be going over the cliff come January 1 and not even a last minute coming together by both sides will stop it. Why? Because as they come closer to the edge, one side is depending on the other to cave. A situation that's not helped along much with the President's my way or the highway approach. Truth be told, it's very much in the President's political interest to see America suffer. In his jaded view this disaster that will befall the middle class is a win win situation as he strives to fracture further an already messed up Republican Party. And yes, our boy in the White House apparently could care less as to the fate of millions of his constituents. As the Pharaoh of Egypt once remarked, 'let them make bricks without straw.' For be it told, this President ain't letting his people go no way no how.

So, if this cliff thing is going to happen, what's the best way for the average family to survive? Here's an easy answer and a way out. Everybody, just quit your jobs and go on the Federal dole. Yeah baby, get out there and suck up to every freebie you can find (cause there's a lot to go around). Also, as member of the nouveau pauvre, you can pretty much live the lifestyle you've been used to with the only difference being that the Nanny State will be supporting you up from now on.

Picture now, an overnight change in our society into just two classes – the Makers and the Takers of which you will be a Taker. Then, over a period of months, we can all watch our government suck the life out of those bad old Corporations until nothing but dry husks are left. After that happens, the real magic will come into play as our President produces money right out of thin air. How you might ask with wondering eyes? Why he has a secret buddy name Ben Bernanke who can print money like there was no tomorrow (you know, sorta like he's doing now). As a matter of fact, we all will be swimming in money. A situation not unlike what happened to the Weimar Republic! And while the breadwinner of the family is carting over a wheel barrel full of currency to the local store to buy some bread with, our government will be effectively nullifying our international debt by making the dollar completely worthless. Wow! What a plan! Now can you guess where we'd be headed next? Hint: read up in the Weimar Republic.
