I am here to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving (unless of course you read this after the break), but also to give myself a little boost.  It seems like we are getting closer and closer to a “solution” to the Fiscal Cliff.  In case you missed it, there are a lot of things coming down from the government that are leading us like lemmings to potentially a worse recession that before… but the news continues to get better.

Everyone talks about sequestration and the fiscal cliff as if they are the same thing – they are not.  Sequestration = budget cuts.  Fiscal cliff = sequestration + tax increases.  It appears that the President and Congress are well on the way to at least figuring out 1/2 the equation (taxes) and the other 1/2 (cuts) will most likely get kicked down the road a little longer.

Stay tuned… there is bound to be a race to 12/31 to get it all done, just like I thought it would.

PS – For those of you just checking in before taking the rest of your use or lose time – Happy Holidays, I will see you again next year.  *smirk*
