WASHINGTON — Political leaders are beginning to review scenarios for surviving the fiscal cliff in the short term, as the likelihood builds that no budget deal will be reached over the next four days.
“I don’t know, time-wise, how it can happen now,’’ Senate majority leader Harry Reid, the Senate’s top Democrat, said Thursday of the elusive budget deal that could stop automatic tax hikes and spending cuts Jan. 1.

Article says: "The government would soon begin cutting budgets, and some estimates have said hundreds of thousands of jobs could be shed by government agencies and contractors."..Now THAT's what we need. Bring it on.
article says: "The government would soon begin cutting budgets, and some estimates have said hundreds of thousands of jobs could be shed by government agencies and contractors.". Those jobs could be done by the PRIVATE SECTOR.
Contractors means private sector. Many private sector companies rely on government contracts for most of their business.
Contractors means private sector meeting all the liberal requirements of minority owned or Union, all the social engineering / buying votes with taxpayer money that the government does so well!
Nobody wants to govern, so we are all on are own, just the way Mitt wanted it. Slackers and freeloaders beware!
Brief delay before U.S.A is Greece (financially speaking)
“I don’t know, time-wise, how it can happen now,’’ Senate majority leader Harry Reid, the Senate’s top Democrat, said Thursday of the elusive budget deal that could stop automatic tax hikes and spending cuts Jan. 1." Actually Harry Reid DOES know how it could happen now. Barack Obama just has to abandon his "My Way or the Highway" (ever increasing) demands.
