Just heard Congress is not in session on Monday. If the
fiscal cliff matters at all to the markets, they have 4 days left
this year to deal with it (not sure why they take off Dec 17-21
thought). And I thought I was a procrastinator!!!!
These people are brutal!
Better or worse but the EU top has the mandate to stop the clock
when they cannot reach an agreement. Nice and effective method. In
US it would perhaps be possibly to reach an agreement that they
have not met an agreement - but will have a schedule to do that in
January. In the meantime all Fiscal Cliff effects may be
postponed.
Congress is closed on Monday? 4 more days until cliff diving!

Yeah top hat alluded to the 4 days of scheduled congress, but they can schedule more days and I'm sure they will have to.
