It's more a political prediction than an economic one I guess. It isn't a required outcome that the cuts and tax rises come into effect.

It's not a prediction. It's reality.

Unless something is done, the cliff face will appear. The political interference is the prediction side of it, as we don't know whether it will happen or not, and to what degree.

It most likely will happen, but as I say, to what degree remains to be seen.

Good.

Not true!

The details are now in:

MacDonalds: 1 extra burger flipper [an Indian student].
Starbucks: 2 new bean counters, and 1 new tax expert
Redrow: 1 Polish hod carrier and 2 Romanian bricklayers (self employed).

That's 7.

The other 49,993 are all on one or other of the Jimmy Saville enquiries.

It is a prediction.

There's a problem if nothing is done. If it is there isn't.

It's not that hard.

No, it's not that hard.

But how you can call this a prediction is beyond me. I predict that there will be an election. Afterall, it's going to happen, but could get called off if something big happens.

I could be very good at predicting going down this path!

What I'm trying to suggest is that the fiscal cliff is more a calculation based on fundementals, than a prediction.

It isn't possible. Labour's education and welfare policies have created a generation of which a proportion is unfit and unqualified for any kind of work and which wants work like it wants a hole in the head. This can be solved in the long term by making almost everyone employable in terms of education and instilled work ethic, and making welfare unattractive for those who could work but won't. Meanwhile the folly of socialism has given us hundreds of thousands with whom we are saddled on welfare for the rest of their lives.
