Idiots.

No, I'm not talking about Obama and the Liberals.

I'm talking about Americans, in general.

The way to understand the results of the latest "fiscal cliff" deal is this:

Imagine you and your spouse sitting down and having this conversation:

"We are currently spending 160% of our annual income. OBVIOUSLY, this needs to stop!"

"I agree, so let's do this: We'll stop paying our electric bill, and apply for 40 new credit cards."

"Yes.....YES! That makes sense to me! That will DEFINITELY get us out of debt!"

....and THAT'S where we are, folks; with a Congress and President doing whatever they please because voters are too stupid to stop it.

Hirota: out.

PS- Say "hello" to the New Year, and "goodbye" to your money.
