Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling:
"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.
My goal with this blog is to offend everyone in the world at least once with my words… so no one has a reason to have a heightened sense of themselves. We are all ignorant, we are all found wanting, we are all bad people sometimes.
Reblogged this on INTERNED in Northfield!!!.
Yeah, but who is going to vote to pass that law? Surely not the clowns in office now.
GDP is about $15 trillion, so 3% is $450 billion. Only one president has had a deficit exceeding that limit and Buffet supported him.
