The Fiscal Cliff conundrum.

My opinion of the fiscal cliff is that most of it is hype. The media seems to have blown it far beyond proportion, and it probably won't be a big deal when it happens. From the sites I read up on it, (all three of 'em) the fiscal cliff seems to be a nothing more then a tax change that will have little to no effect on much depending on congress' reaction. Furthermore, there seems to be the chance that it may even help our country with its deficit. Of course,chances are I have no idea what I'm talking about. I'm just some kid in a high school.
