Looks like a job for F.E.M.A.
Interesting - we're still standing.

I think we did the right thing pushing it over.
I thought it was a Outhouse from the smell!!
The best view of one's poor decisions is from beyond the edge looking back.
Essentially, the Capitol lacked capital in our capital.
I wonder if this will impact my allowance.
"Are we standing on a large Dog?"
We've still got Barack Obama and The Supremes.
Till debt do us part.
The ayes have it.
I wonder how much that'll cost to fix.
They took the bailout.
My Dad said that the fiscal cliff is a metaphor for being lazy, stupid, childish, etc.
Oh ... Physical cliff, NOT fiscal cliff. I demand a revote!
My mom says they can't find solutions because they lost their moral compass.
You didn't finish your construction bills.
Appears the "balanced approach" was tilted too much toward pork.
"See! It doesn't matter. Neither Red nor Blue Bull gives you wings"!
Oh no he didn't
That should solve most of our problems.
The party of the first part couldn't get along with the party of the second part.
I hope a bunch of the 1% Billionaires and their lobbyist are down below looking up.
This is one way to get them all out of office!!
Why didn't we think of this years ago?
Wall Street is next!!
The Chinese foreclosed on it for non payment then determined it was the worst fixer upper they'd ever seen....said it was easier to "dump it all" and start with a fresh slate!
What a relief! The government insured the Capitol for $17 trillion. Now we can break even!

A House divided will fall.
That's got my vote.

I'm surprised they didn't make cliffs illegal as well!
I saw this coming, I read the cliff notes.
You was right Mr. Rockefeller, we the banks do own this country.
"I guess that answers the question, how many Republicans does it take to push the country off a cliff?"
They'll be ok. Unlike us.....they've all got golden parachutes.
Talk about a lack of concern, they didnt even leave a suicide note!

Oops... wrong cliff!
Steve Wynn's building a bigger one
Where The White House Ends: The overspending and ignorance of Our Government
The politicians all thought the fiscal cliff was just a metaphor. If they're lucky, they'll land on the housing bubble.
That solves our biggest problem!
Now that's what I call real disaster relief!
We call it the
FIX-ALL cliff
Don't worry, We'll build a new one by raising Taxes on Unemployment.
Why don't they just have the 47% pay taxes for a new one.
Kinda reminds me when Dick Cheney fell on Colon Powell...Ooops..
I feel like this is a cartoon. How long is it going to float on the cliff edge before it falls?
