Fiscal Cliff

How can anybody have confidence that the Obama Administration will take effective actions to avoid the looming fiscal cliff if they won't even pass a federal budget.  The massive spending that has been occurring dwarfs any tax revenue that would be collected by increasing the taxes for the highest tax payers and high income, job producing citizens.  There is a serious lack of will and leadership in Washington D.C. and the American people are about to find out what desperation and pain fiscal irresponsibility will lead them.
