The United Staten Congress has adopted a resolution that would build a national monument to Fiscal Cliff in Washington, DC. Washington was chosen since it is  is a city of monuments and memorials. The monuments honor the generals, politicians, poets and statesmen who helped shape the great nation. Although the most famous monuments and memorials are on the National Mall, there are statues and plaques on many street corners around the city. Since Washington, DC’s monuments are spread out, it is hard to visit all of them on foot. At busy times, traffic and parking makes it difficult to visit the monuments by car. The fiscal cliff monument will be built near the congress building since the United States Congress proudly claims that it is responsible for it.
