How would you rename/rebrand the 'fiscal cliff'?

  1. Fiscal Cliff sounds kinda scary. If you were gonna rebrand/rename the sched. spend. cuts/tax increase what would you call it?
  2. @marketplaceapm @davidgura this fall on CNBC: "My So Called Fiscal Cliff", starring Ben Bernanke, @kairyssdal, and Clare Danes
  3. Budget deadline? Second chance at making decisions and hoping our credit rating doesn't go down?
  4. The wealthy tax tantrum RT @MarketplaceAPM: Fiscal Cliff sounds kinda scary. If you were gonna rebrand/renamewhat would you call it?
  5. Nice! Woopsie almost requires a giggle when said... RT @mquirion: @MarketplaceAPM "Fiscal Woopsie"
  6. The Big Empty Threat RT @MarketplaceAPM: Fiscal Cliff sounds kinda scary. If you were gonna rebrand/renamewhat would you call it?
  7. @MarketplaceAPM Fixing the Federal Budget GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principals)
  8. Who is this guy Cliff Fiscal and why do so many people not want him to come over to their house on New Years Eve? I'm starting to feel really bad for this guy...
  9. @MarketplaceAPM How about the synonym "bluff", as in Fiscal Bluff. That's what both parties are doing to each other!
  10. @MarketplaceAPM If the so called fiscal cliff were a tv show: Fiscal St. Blues, Law & Fiscal Disorder, or Fiscal Cliff the Deficit Slayer
  11. @MarketplaceAPM How about "Being Monetarily Challenged" - Sounds very PC.
  12. How about just calling it what it is? The Sequestration cuts. Education of Americans about fiscal consequences of actions shouldn't need the equivalent of baby words.
