Fiscal cliff

During winter break all I heard about was the fiscal cliff. It seemed so frightening to me, even though I only had a vague understanding if what it actually was. Now that legislation was passed at the absolute last minute, I feel an overwhelming sense of frustration and fatigue. I'm frustrated because our political leaders can't figure out away to cooperate with one another and work together. It's all about their political party and they just can't seem to work together for the good of the people. They can't seem to get it  into their tiny little heads that just because they put this Band-Aid over the problem it's going to go away. It's not going to go away, it's just going to make the problem worse in the future. I'm tired because this kind of thing has been a problem for such a long time now, yet no politician seems to want to listen. It's time for them to get their head in the game and use the skills they learned in kindergarten.
