The new word invention of  "Fiscal Cliff" by  the FEDs chief Bernanke is flying around everywhere. It is the new shadow word policy.  Bring it to light and see what it is. It means nothing more than: Time is up. The debt has risen beyond the repair point and no more can be spent. The real meaning is government will shut down all critical and unnecessary services and freeze spending if no action is taken.  What does it really mean.
