As I posted before, I believe going off the fiscal cliff is inevitable. Last week I heard an interesting opposing viewpoint: The fiscal cliff compromise has been or is nearly complete. The politicians' brinkmanship is just for the benefit of the constituency that voted for them.
I hope he's right, but I doubt it. That would be rising above the politics, which I don't think will happen. I think it's more likely the politician have agreed to let the fiscal cliff happen, so that both parties can look good when negotiating a solution. That would be more consistent with the behavior I've seen from our elected officials :-)
