Falling off the Cliff

The end of the year is rapidly approaching.  Normally, we would all be overjoyed to prepare for Christmas, buying gifts for your family and friends, preparing food, make plans for the Holidays and more.

This year may be a little different.  Congress needs to address both the Fiscal Cliff and the Farm Bill, both of which impact nearly every American.  I don't know about you, but I have had it with Congress.  They adjourn early and they don't pass any bills.  It has been this session of Congress where some of the fewest number of bills have been passed.

Whatever happened to listening to the American people.  Now that the election is over, politicians don't have to worry about re-election.  Anyone up for re-election was afraid to make any decisions with the fear they may not get re-elected.

Bottom line, there are two major issues that need to be discussed and passed in Congress before the end of the year and with their track record, the chances of this happening is slim to none.
