Shutdown Goes Viral

Stop the madness now.

   A viral disease of shortsightedness has spread across the political spectrum, setting up America as the first to fall victim to the sickness.
   And the economic sneeze, already infectng small business throughout America, has started to spread and will soon reach epidemic status, much as the Great Depression caused a worldwide catastrophe, only to end with  World War II, as nations jump-started their munitions industries.
   Few today can remember those days of unemployment, hunger and the violence of war, and none do so fondly.
   Will it take another Great Crash for politicians to wake up? Will it take another war to rescue the world from economic madness, only to deliver it to military madness?
