To: President Donald Trump
MR. OBAMA JUMP OFF THE FISCAL CLIFF
JUMP OFF THE CLIFF TOGETHER!
1) The "FISCAL CLIFF" is just a "Fiscal Bump in the
Road". The increase in taxes is less than 5% for each of the income tax
brackets.
These income tax brackets are the same ones we all had in the 1990's.
And IF the President wants to negociate with the Republicans, he will
have a much stronger hand after January 1st!
2) The automatic cuts, the sequester, is almost certainly the ONLY way we
will ever see significant cuts in the Defense Budget!
3) THE SEQUESTER DOES NOT CUT MEDICARE, MEDICAID, OR SOCIAL SECURITY! NOT A
SINGLE DIME!

Why is this important?
We, the entire USA, will have to live with any compromise Mr. Obama and the Republicans come up with. In the last 4 years, the President has shown himself to be a poor negotiator. For example the "Grand Bargain" that thankfully the Republicans rejected. We need to push Mr. Obama to bide his time and let the "Fiscal Cliff" happen. If we all jump off the cliff together, come January 1st Mr. Obama has the strongest bargaining position that he could wish for.
