    You have probably heard the term "Fiscal Cliff" enough times to make you sick. But, do you really know everything it entails? Below, you will find a comprehensive list of every law that will expire at the end of this year, as well as the result of our returning to whatever the law was before. The accumulation of all of these things has been dubbed collectively by the media as the "Fiscal Cliff".

    "It is clear that in spite of the fact that they are talking, they are getting nowhere. I have done things with the Democrats. Tell me: what spending are they willing to cut? What entitlements are they prepared to cut? Not 10 years from now. The taxes are going to go up in 20 days. They are talking about spending cuts that come into effect in 20 years.We are not going to get anywhere as long as that is their position."

    Identified the biggest sticking point as the fact that Obama was not prepared to match the tax rises with deep spending cuts.

    “Tax increases will not solve America’s deficit problem. A deal to avoid the Fiscal Cliff must include significant and rapid entitlement reform. We have to put together something that will substantially reduce this deficit. We can’t do that...
    without impacting the major entitlements. In order to get a deal, we have to reduce the deficit by reforming Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. You have to deal with all of them and do it now.”

    "Campbell told FoxNews.com that the photos are indicative of widespread problems within the little-known agency -- ranging from possible misuse of taxpayer money to alleged animal abuse of predatory and non-predatory wildlife."

    "This package actually both increases taxes and increases the deficit because there is so much additional spending. As a false gesture towards something reasonable, the president says they will make some unspecified changes to Medicare that...
    would save some money......starting no more than 10 and more likely 20 years from now. So, the tax increases are specific and go into effect in less than 30 days, but the spending reductions are unspecific and don't start for at least 10 years!! Seriously?"

    Speaker Boehner called this proposal "not serious". I call it absurd and counter-productive.

    “I think that tax hikes are absolutely the wrong thing to do,” Campbell said. “But you have to look at the entirety of what you’re voting on and decide whether it is the best way to move the country forward given the circumstances. My ideology guides my thinking, but it does not replace my thinking.”

    Campbell said Medicare is at the top of his list for reform, followed by Medicaid and Social Security.

    "So, how do the tax increases fit in here? The president does not even pretend that raising taxes on the much despised people who earn more than $125,000 per year if you are single (the $250,000 is only for married couples) will do much for the deficit. It won't. Not even close. It maybe addresses 2-3% of the problem. You can confiscate all income over these thresholds and have those people work at the point of a sword as slaves and it won't cure the deficit. He has said this is about fairness. No, it’s about envy, it’s about revenge. That would be a fundamental change in American culture, which would regress us to the failed cultures that the founders of this country abandoned."

    The underlying issue before us right now with the so-called "fiscal cliff" is, in my opinion, not actually fiscal or financial. It is cultural.
