     Wall Street wizard and CEO Ed Axton is getting ready to jump off the Fiscal Cliff in January 2013. Mr Axton is head of Axton Enterprises, based in Del Aire, Ca.  The "Fiscal Cliff" will happen in January 2013 when the Bush tax cuts will expire.  This, combined with the scheduled increase in government spending is a condition that some fear my send the country into another recession/depression.

     Mr. Axton was quoted as saying "I have done several base jumps where we jump off of radio towers and tall buildings with a parachute.  I even jumped off the library tower in Los Angeles, Ca."  It is 73 stories tall-about 700 feet, But I've never jumped of of anything as high as this fiscal cliff is supposed to be."

Unknown Landing Site

    " I don't know what I'm going to land on when I get to the bottom.  They tell me it smells horrible, and it's really sticky, like, you could sink in and get mired in it.  I mean, no-one has ever done it before, It's like the first moon landing, you just don't know."  "I'm thinking of wearing a Haz-Mat suit."

Asked whether Mr. Axton plans to practice for the upcoming Fiscal Cliff jump, he said " I'm thinking of going to Dubai.  I hear they have a really tall building there, like 1400 feet tall."

When I pointed out to Mr. Axton that the "Fiscal Cliff" is not like a real actual cliff, cliff, It is more of an idea, or a concept, he replied: "well, that's not really a problem, and I don't foresee any issues, I mean, I have jumped off a precipice before so I don't think I'll have a problem jumping off a concept,  do you??
