Fiscal cliff 2013 averted
Great news for America – Fiscal cliff 2013 averted.
It’s been an interesting two days in the land of politics.
The end result is great. Congress has voted and the fiscal cliff that threatened to start out the New year 2013, in a bad way, has been avoided.

Whether you are a Democrat or a Republican, or even an Independent, you have to admit that President Obama’s strategy to avert the fiscal cliff 2013 was brilliant.
