Warren Buffets solution to the permanently fix the deficit.
On CNBC panel:
"I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. Good idea or not? |

Oh, so you held him to his bet? I was hoping you were a bit more benevolent than that. Color me disappointed...not because I like his posts, It's just too bad someone as tolerant as yourself couldn't find it in your heart.

tbh, I would think stopping him from copying and pasting crap on new threads would be sufficient, but not my call to make.

It would need to be an amendment, and there would probably be ways to skirt it with accounting tricks, but in principle I support it.

I think it’s ridiculous that there aren’t term limits on those seats anyway so I’m in.

pretty sure that wouldn't really end it in 5 minutes, but nice drama though.

Unfortunately it is kind of like saying people should be happy and no one should go hungry. Well Thanks Warren. I’m beginning to think he is a lot more like Trump than I would have ever beloved.
Another Billionaire attention whore. Yippee. |
