As Rome Burns the Emperors Fiddle

You would think the American public would be tired of the games played in Washington.  As Emperors Obama and Boehner fiddle around with the so called Fiscal Cliff, so far they can't seem to come to a compromise. As a result the rest of us are going to suffer with massive tax hikes in 2013.  Now it's still possible these two will come to their senses and stop playing their fiddles yielding a compromise by 12/29 but it doesn't appear likely at this point.
