“It’s important for business and government to be able to work together. I came away feeling very good.” —  Honeywell Chairman David Cote

To invest some of their $2 trillion cash horde.

That’s the only real way to get the economy moving,

Even though Big Business spent the last two years trying to engineer his defeat.

The Republican response to the meeting was to “mock it”

And announce that if anything came out of it, they’d block it.
