RichardP:
... going over the fiscal cliff with a parachute.

That was just a phrase I read.  Meant that Congress would sign a bill, but it would be sometime in the New Year, after we had gone "over the cliff".  So - over the cliff, but temporarily.  And so it seems to have worked out that way.  The bill that was passed also put off the 27% Medicare cut to physicians for a year.

Bush tax cuts expired, even if only briefly.  So now, they are the Obama tax cuts.  That will make for an interesting footnote in the history books.
