I suppose I'm looking for good debate tips for dealing with the who "Fiscal Cliff" which I can see is lunacy just when I took a look at it in the news paper. The idea that every tax increase leads to the drop in the GDP just makes me want to bang my head against the wall, yet that seems to have spawned the majority of this 'cliff.' But explaining it to someone in a succinct way fails me. Might there be some better ways of explaining why it's a poor idea?
I'd also ask about the gold standard backed currency and why it's terrible, but I figure asking my dad, again, why might work better. Since he's into the economics a lot. He votes democrat becomes of economic reasons... as a member of the top and a small business owner. Why I vote democrat right now. He even used to vote republican before they went off the deep end.
