The Fiscal Cliff

I'm sure we've all been hearing about the fiscal cliff lately.  This is a confusing issue, and I thought Dr. Tracy Miller's blog post "What Should be Done about the Fiscal Cliff"contains excellent and very clear analysis.  I highly recommend that you take the time to read it.  

I also appreciated Donald Schanzenbach's piece entitled "Mission to Restore America: Fiscal Cliff Follies."  Writing from a Christian worldview perspective, he makes the point that we've already gone over the cliff, and much more needs to happen to bring us back than for some sort of compromise to be worked out in Washington.  He believes that through financial disaster of our own making we may see a return to wisdom and back to God in America.  Let us pray that he is correct.
