If the US goes over the "fiscal cliff" on Dec. 31, our tax rate returns to what it was during the Clinton era. Our federal budget is automatically reduced by substantial amounts across the board. Economists predict that this may have a bad effect on the US economy. Actual effects will be slight for a few months, and Congress seems very likely to act quickly, if indeed the "cliff" is actually allowed to happen. Psychological effects, such at those on the Stock Market and on the thoughts of people who make financial decisions is hard to predict.
The fiscal cliff is temporay over for the next two months

A cliff is an overhang on a mountain or steep hill. When someone is standing on the edge of a cliff, it means there is nowhere to go but over the side of the cliff. They would be forced to turn around and go back the other way. Many cliffs are found along shorelines of oceans and seas. DEFINITION OF 'FISCAL CLIFF' A combination of expiring tax cuts and across-the-board government spending cuts scheduled to become effective Dec. 31, 2012. The idea behind the fiscal cliff was that if the federal government allowed these two events to proceed as planned, they would have a detrimental effect on an already shaky economy, perhaps sending it back into an official recession as it cut household incomes, increased unemployment rates and undermined consumer and investor confidence. At the same time, it was predicted that going over the fiscal cliff would significantly reduce the federal budget deficit.

it lands on the floor if your hand is over a cliff.... it dies
It goes all over the Internet.
I have just driven over a cliff. This cliff is very steep and colorful.
A cliff can change over time by the process of erosion. This process erodes parts of the cliff away slowly and then, when erosion stops taking place to the cliff, the cliff stops changing.
