Grand bargaining

Image from U. of Iowa.
Dear American Express,

I've just spent quite a few hundreds of billions of dollars on some stuff I don't really want, though everybody says I have to have it, so I'd like to spend more on weapons and warships and on the medical catastrophes that will occur if I refuse to pay my health insurance premiums.

What I'd like you to do is lower my credit limit so I won't have to pay for all this. Can you explain how that will work? Better still, just take care of it. I don't see why I should get bogged down in the details.

Sincerely,

U.S. House of Representatives

Also, I'd like a new bike. And an Obamaphone. Via.
