Why the hell is Honeywell, NASDAQ, UPS, and Blackrock CEOs on Bloomberg talking about American debt?

CEO Summit my ass.

CEOs from the companies listed above are talking about American debt on Bloomberg right now. What the hell is going on in this country? Who do these greedy sons-a-bitches think they are to talk about this subject?

Teddy Roosevelt had it right. Get these fuckers out of the pockets of the American public and the government. Re-instate the Tillman act RIGHT NOW!!!!! Get these greedy son-of-a-bitches off of the television RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!

GOD DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get the hell off the television and get back to the business of running your companies.

They're talking about something they have no business talking about.

Get out of my pocket. Get back to work and run your companies. You have no business trying to run my country.

THIS is the problem in America.

I guess it cuts out them speaking through elected representatives via campaign donations.

I find the notion kinda frightening.

Their opinions are no more important than a bum under a bridge.

In fact I would trust the bum more.

who don't lavish as much money on their CEO's and their CEOs probably have more positive industry results. oh, and most treat their workers better than these so-called us corporate greedheads.

yes, they have so much experience and knowledge about debt, hostile takeovers and screwing labor. we really need to listen to these "professional" (bullshiters). after all, these are probably the same who were all for the business president, little boots. and little boots made them lots and lots of money by cutting their already low taxes and allowing some of them big lucrative FEDERAL contracts. worried about the debt? well, i find it hard to believe their worried, since their man increased it over 80% while screwing most of the american public (not the 1%-they made a killing).
