The “Fiscal Cliff”

Strap on your seat-belt, America, because it looks like we are going over the “fiscal cliff.”  Still not sure what it is?  My layman’s understanding is that it means higher taxes, across the board budget cuts, and not a whole lot of leadership by Congress or the President.  I may be wrong, but there are signs that our economy is stagnating.  My evidence?  Buildings going to ruin in prosperous towns like Londonderry, Vermont.  I am a sucker for old buildings.  I know it costs a whole lot of money and sweat to keep buildings from falling into oblivion, but I can’t help it for being sentimental.  Not to mention I have friends without work, family members unable to sell a good home, and people “tweeting” about $8.00 for a gallon of milk.
