10 Questions VARs Asked Michael Dell (And His Answers)

The Fiscal Cliff

Dell was asked what precautions businesses should take regarding the upcoming "fiscal cliff" in Congress.

"We've taken some steps to prepare for this possibility. I'd like to think it [won't] actually occur, but you never know. Hopefully, a compromise is worked out. That's sort of the going assumption," Dell said. "This is only the beginning of addressing the real issue, which is our government is spending way more than it takes on and has for a long time. You know you can't do that for a long time. Unfortunately, that's what government has been doing. You can't keep doing it. That's a bigger issue beyond the fiscal cliff."
