Why should we care about the Fiscal Cliff?

Hi,

I'm a libertarian and a citizen of this great country, the USA. I love this country and I believe the founding fathers set the foundation for us to become the most liberated society in history. We have lived well and I think if they were here today they would be proud of us, though we are far from perfect.

Something that truly saddens me is how far our country has fallen into debt. Our personal lifestyles are dependent largely on credit cards and car payments, and additionally our Government has allowed its spending to far exceed its capacity for revenue.

I try to talk about these issues with my peers, but I find that many of them don't see the relevance to them. So I ask you guys, how can I get my peers to care about the deficit and in particular the Fiscal Cliff?

New Years Eve I will be talking about this issue on twitter using the hashtag XXXXXXXXXXX so if you want to be heard, I hope to see you there!
