By the end of 2012, US will hit a fiscal cliff

The countdown is on. At the end of the year economists say the US will hit a fiscal cliff. But it seems that not too many people seem to know what that really is.

It was Ben Bernanke who coined the term “fiscal cliff.” The masses do not understand it, since they have been brainwashed. I have written about it extensively here at WUFYS.

Don’t worry about it. The politicians want the depression to continue, but they don’t want to crash the U.S. economy altogether. They will not let the “fiscal cliff” happen.

The video has a lying “economist” named Patrick Basham who says, “New Zealand was about to go over a serious fiscal cliff in the 1980s with debt, etcetera, and restructured its policies. They started cutting back in terms of spending and taxes, paying off debt, privatization, that kind of thing. And it completely turned that country’s economy around.”

B.U.L.L.S.H.I.T.

Indeed it’s self-contradictory bullshit. The idiot says New Zealand “starting cutting back on spending and taxes.” Does that mean they spent more or less? Did they raise or lower taxes? He doesn’t say.

The truth is that New Zealand did exactly what U.S. politicians will do. They lied, saying “We must cut spending, cut the deficit, and raise taxes,” but they went on the same as before. They did not cut sending or raise taxes. Voila: no fiscal cliff. It was a “miracle”! They “turned the country around!”

The video says, “Because of a divided Congress and partisan politics, a compromise (on the fiscal cliff) will be challenging.”

Nonsense. First of all, no one, NO ONE disagrees that the fiscal cliff will destroy the U.S. economy. Therefore politicians won’t let it happen. Second, since when has the US Congress ever seriously disagreed about where the money goes? Republicans and Democrats are identical. They only pretend to be different (like Labour and Conservatives in England).

“To help remedy the fiscal cliff, U.S. lawmakers have few solutions.”

Wrong again. Their solution will be to revise (i.e. ignore) the Budget Control Act that they voted for in 2011. 

Oh but we have a crisis coming! Woo hoo! It’s all designed to keep the masses thinking that for the U.S. government, money is limited. It’s a crisis!

NOT.
