The document discusses different options for dealing with the upcoming "fiscal cliff" in the US: A) getting pushed over the cliff through abrupt spending cuts and tax increases, B) jumping at the chance to strike a "Grand Bargain" through a large deficit reduction deal, or C) stepping back to think about the issues and consider alternative approaches. It argues that options A and B could harm the economy in the short-run and that there is no economic reason to rush into a large deficit reduction given that the US government has fiscal space as the issuer of the currency.
