I keep hearing and reading that a deal may be in the works that will avoid the Fiscal Cliff. No!

Let me say that again: no!

No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! Nooooooooo!

There is a deal that the Senate may pass tonight. There is a deal that the House might take up tomorrow. (But I seriously doubt it!) And by “tomorrow” I mean, you know: the day after we’ve gone off the Fiscal Cliff!

Note: going off the Fiscal Cliff is no big deal. I’ve been long saying that we will. But there is no deal that will stop this from happening. We are going over the Fiscal Cliff in two and a half hours!

And for the record, I don’t think the House will vote on this tomorrow. I still think Boehner will wait until after he has been re-elected Speaker of the House.

Now let’s all jump off the Fiscal Cliff: three, two, one…
