Here are some of the projections from our nation's supposed leading think tank's solutions to avoid the upcoming fiscal cliff and put us on a path of deficit reduction.
Notice something? Deficits as far as the eye can see. Not even the right wing Heritage Foundation has the U.S. in the black twenty-five years from now. This has to be disheartening.
Also, there's something else you should notice. The dark grey is the worst possible solution and the worst possible path that we could go down. It is our current path. The path of the continuation of the Bush Economic Policy. It's the same sorry path we've been on since March of 2001-- the same path Obama has failed to turn away from. But there is something that could happen after the New Year. We could embark upon a totally different policy, a policy that allows for the Bush Tax Cuts, the Bush Spending and the Bush Path to expire. That path is the light grey shaded area. It's nothing to brag about, of course. But it's way better than the path set by George W. Bush and the fiscal conservatives.
