Mr. Stolyarov expresses hope that Congress will fail in its attempt to avert the overhyped "fiscal cliff" and that this deficit-reducing package of measures will take effect. Mr. Stolyarov is no friend of tax increases, but he expects that most of those will be undone. On the other hand, reductions in planned federal spending - especially military spending - would be more difficult to undo under a "fiscal cliff" scenario, and this therefore presents an opportunity for friends of liberty to gain ground.<br /><br />If the "fiscal cliff" (which is not really that bad at all) is averted, then this would send a signal to politicians that there exists no substantive strong incentive to negotiate any further deficit or debt reductions.<br /><br />Remember to LIKE, FAVORITE, and SHARE this video in order to spread rational discourse on this issue.<br /><br />Support these video-creation efforts by donating at The Rational Argumentator: <a href="http://rationalargumentator.com/index.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://rationalargumentator.com/index.html</a> and <a href="http://rationalargumentator.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://rationalargumentator.com/</a><br /><br />References<br /><br />- "United States fiscal cliff" - Wikipedia - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_fiscal_cliff" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_fiscal_cliff</a><br />- "List of countries by military expenditures" - Wikipedia - <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_military_expenditures</a><br />...<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XNpR00VYgA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XNpR00VYgA</a>
