It appears that the best the American public can hope for in the coming weeks is complete and total gridlock on Capitol Hill. The debate hasn't changed. The Fiscal Cliff "crisis" was nothing but a manufactured deadline that truly accomplished nothing lasting. The problems have not changed.
The two opposing philosophies on "tax and spend" vs. "fiscal responsibility" are not driving the discussions. Power and power alone are what is at stake in the minds of the politicians. Is it "my way" or is it "your way" is the only debate. There is not statesmanship and no seeking of a middle-of-the road compromise.
The only possible outcome that meets in the middle is gridlock. Maybe that's the best thing that could happen.
