He is absolutely right about the whole trickle down thing not working though. At least he is trying though. More than it feels like our esteemed leaders are doing.
Jeremy, Walt said to thank you for your honest criticism. He does however want to point out that this imaginary money is just as real as the imaginary money that they will be giving out to the banks.

Also, there is no guarantee that the money will get paid back from the banks either.

I doubt that this letter will get very far with our esteemed leaders, but it is still worth sending.
