You really are delusional if you think everything is just fine. We’re headed straight for a fiscal cliff. But, as I said, it doesn’t matter either way.

Being “obstructionists” isn’t going to help them, which is what they’ll be labeled as if they refuse to sign onto any of the Democrat’s ideas. So they should just go along with whatever Democrats want. Either Democrats are right and “their way” will work or it won’t. Either way, I would think it’s an idea everyone on this board could agree to. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-official-post-election-day-thread-11-7-12/640177)._
