Why do they call it a "fiscal cliff"? In fact it is a policy in the right direction, although not using the best tools. So a "fiscal-cliff", or maybe better called "a debt-cliff", will occur if again no policy is implemented and everything remains in the "good old way". In this alternative, and presented as "salvation" scenario, the deficit will remain higher, the debt will continue to increase in an uncontrollable way and at the end - some day, USA will really go bankrupt. This will be a real cliff, believe me. In either scenario - Government default, or inflationary dollar devaluation, American people will have to pay the high price of political irresponsibility.

But it is not a fiction. It is absolutely real. In EU.

In fact these countries mark an impressive growth. So while in Western countries and Japan economists are wondering what happens, in China economists are enjoying to comment only good news.

There are too much comments on Presidential election on November 6th. But it lacks one very important point of view - who is in charge in so called "toss up" states. I think this is the most important factor as in situation of very close results the electoral manipulations and falsifications can become decisive. It is a responsibility of the State administration to organize the elections. So the party that rules the state has an advantage of adding some percents to its result due to electoral fraud. Such type of advantage is not decisive if the margin is big. Usually the fraud potential is in one-digit percents and even 1-2%.

So let's look at the toss ups...
