    Write your congsessman if like me you are an american. Make sure they know you are mad. power belongs to congress if they take it. Right now there are some efforts but it is small enough that some leaders feel they can kill it by ignoring it. However if there is pressure that will fail.

    If congress stops this fast it will show the system is still working and american creditability will come back fast - but if you don’t the world will move on.
