Fiscal cliff duplicitous hype wouldn't exist. Imagine this kind of nation. It's not pie-in-the-sky.



Could you please explain the meaning of this expression?

If something is pie in the sky, it is a dream that is unlikely to happen or impractical.

Here's a good tip, The Exalted Father:

Put your pointer on Reference near the top of the page, and click on Idioms.

You'll find 'pie in the sky' and hundreds of other idioms there.
