Whose  Fiscal Cliff Is It?

Would that I were under the cliff,  in the secret hiding places in the rocks.

Is it the Democrats?

Seeking to soak the Fat Cats?

Is it the GOP?

The Conservative Banshee?


Is it we the wee people, the rest of us?

Who face another recession mess?

Is it the social justice crowd,

Who are on the left are so loud?

Is it those who would regulate all transactions

Resulting in widespread business contractions?

Is it the doctrinaire pro-growth conservative,

Who says capitalism is the only  preservative?

Who, for God’s sake, knows.

When left and right come to blows?


In the end, it's politics,

versus  economics.
