Your inflammatory rhetoric is completely unwarranted. Terrorism is "the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes", per dictionary.com. This isn't that. This is more pretending that there is nothing to be afraid of for economic reasons. That is, it is something almost totally unlike terrorism, even if it eventually results in a large number of deaths.

That said, greed and incompetence can be just as deadly as malice. And that's what this is - legislative greed and/or incompetence. It would be lovely to get rid of politicians for that. Unfortunately, you'd have to get rid of almost all of them...
