Op-Ed: Common sense Needed to Avoid Fiscal Cliff By

web posted December 13, 2012 Guest Opinion: In following the ongoing
circus-show
debate in Washington about the so-called “fiscal cliff” our nation

seems on point: “Under democracy one party always devotes its chief
energies to trying to prove that the other party is unfit to rule – and
both commonly succeed, and are right.” Don’t get me wrong – I believe
our two-party system has served us
fairly well. Edgefield Daily
