Dear Corporate Overlords Re: Debt Ceiling

Dear Corporate Overlords,

I would like to draw your attention to some reaping what you sow events that may not be 100% obvious.

For quite sometime you have been "supporting" members of congress based entirely on your short term self interest, irrespective of those legislators "other qualities". You have been pushing for lower taxes and less government to such an extent that only the self interested, conned, or idiotic would go along. And now so many members of the House of Representatives are so stupid and/or ideologically blind that they are currently trying to do something that could ruin the world economy.

Your pushing for ever decreasing amounts of government is bearing the fruit we all should have seen coming. Through support of "conservatives" who purport to believe that that government can't do anything and are willing to say anything (and/or its opposite) you have funded a legislation that can no longer govern at all.

I call this to your attention because the connection between your corrupting actions and total economic collapse may not have been totally clear. You may lose unimaginable amounts of money for your shareholders (and everyone else) because your cronies in the house are so stupid and ignorant that they can no longer be trusted with the basic running of the U.S. government. The government, I hasten to point out, that is responsible for the reserve currency used by the whole world.

Anyway, I just wanted to point this out to you in case we survive this. Because if we do, I would very much appreciate you understanding the importance of governance when you buy and sell my legislature.

Yours in impudent rage,
Josiah
