Fiscal cliff

I'm tired of everyone going on about the fiscal cliff.  Everyone seems to want to try and guess what will happen if we coast over it, because, you know, the people who are right can spend the rest of their lives pointing to that one time when, if anybody had ever listened to them, they could have saved the whole economy.  I hope they're all wrong, we drive off the fiscal cliff, and everything turns out better as a result.  Kind of like World War II.  I love economists.
