Business Blues

The passing election blew a chill wind across the decks of the Good Ship Commerce.
Ignoring my unfortunate metaphor of Democrats blowing, I did stumble across the U.S. Chamber of Commerce ratings for both the outgoing and likely incoming chairs of various business related committees. The dismissed Republicans had a CofC average rating of 93% while the newly anointed Democrats have a measly 45%.
Most importantly is the shift in the Small Business committee. Given that half of all Americans are employed by small businesses, the (in)actions of this committee alone will shift the economy in gut churning lurches. Proposed chair Nydia Velazquez ranks a substandard 48% among people who actually produce things, unlike politicians whose only commodity is hot air (perhaps politicians are responsible for global warming).
America, your economic boom is about to bust, and you have yourselves to thank.
