Fiscal Cliff

What happened to the Fiscal Cliff? Did we Thelma and Louise off of it? Or did we turn back at the last minute? I'm being glib, but my point is that any legitimate danger would surely not have came and went like the latest Kardashian gossip. Not that anxiety about the economy isn't warranted, but rather than a fiscal cliff, we should be worried about fiscal policy. Has anyone been following the confirmation hearings? I'm a little concerned about Chuck Hagel. And I am nervous to see who will be nominated as Treasury Secretary. Business Insider lists Sheryl Sandberg (yes, that Sheryl Sandberg) first on their shortlist of potential candidates. That doesn't bode well in my opinion.
