The five-word solution to the ‘fiscal cliff’

By Joseph Curl

Don’t pay your taxes, America.

There. Solved. Next problem.

Wouldn’t that be something, if America simply said, “Enough!” If Americans didn’t eat Hamburger Helper and keep the thermostat at 66 degrees all winter so they could save enough money to give to the federal government, which would once again spend it like Liberace at a candelabra shop? (Sorry to those under 50 — for the younger set, think Miley Cyrus at a tattoo parlor).

What if Americans decided that the federal government and the 535 men and women in Congress paid — by us — to run our government just aren’t up to the task?

What if they said — all 308 million (yes, all the babies, too) — that those servants we’ve hired may even be suffering from dementia and must be stopped immediately?

They must be nuts, right, thinking they can spend $3.6 trillion when we give them only $2.5 trillion?
