By Robert Reich — Washington has a way of focusing the nation’s attention on tactical games over partisan maneuvers that are symptoms of a few really big problems. But we almost never get to debate or even discuss the big problems because the tactical games overwhelm everything else.

The fiscal cliff draws nearer. The Republicans may be in the worse position because doing nothing puts them in an inferior place politically. But President Nixon’s Madman Theory—make your opponent think you’re crazy enough to put everyone at risk and they’ll back down—might be encouraging the stalemate. The “Left, Right & Center” commentators consider the heights and more on this week’s show.

No, says the Nobel Prize-winning economist, who must be hoarse from repeating the same thing for the last four years: The United States is facing a jobs crisis, one that costs the savings, homes and dreams of millions of Americans and about $900 billion a year in lost productivity.

By Joe Conason — If President Obama honestly wants to negotiate an agreement with Republicans before the year-end fiscal deadline, he must be deeply frustrated. And if he doesn’t really want to negotiate with them, then he should be delighted, for the same reason.

“Debtpocalypse” looms. Depending on who wins out in Washington, we’re told, we will either free fall over the fiscal cliff or take a terrifying slide to the pit at the bottom. Grim as these scenarios might seem, there is something confected about the mise-en-scène, like an un-fun Playland. After all, there is no fiscal cliff, or at least there was none—until the two parties built it.

By E.J. Dionne, Jr. — President Obama’s victory blew up the framework created by the 2010 elections, which forced him to play defense. Now, he finally has room to move. That’s the only way to understand the ongoing budget talks.

Is this a recipe for peace or for even greater conflict? The “Left, Right & Center” commentators consider the possibilities on this week’s show.
