What is The Fiscal Cliff?

The Fiscal Cliff has the potential to be one of the most severe economic events in our nation’s recent history.  But what exactly is it? 

In this show we explore the main aspects of the Fiscal Cliff and detail the most significant events that have led up to it.  We give some background on the makings of the situation and where we are in terms of negotiation of a solution, and offer some commentary on the problem and how lawmakers should proceed toward an agreement.
