 For me, when Warren Buffet talks, I LISTEN

and so should everyone else

but, we are not being told he is even talking.

Please please read the whole report, and find out who the "players are" this isn't funny people

And how sad it is that the last president of the United States that provided the United States of America with a Budget surplus was............(who? I can't hear you........) that's right; all together now.....President Bill Clinton....hmmmmmmmmm doesn't that have something to do with the Economy?

did you read the link? NO

Oh well, on your subject, someone posted a chart on here (I don't have it), showing the deficits, surpluses etc. during democrat and republican presidents-----I WISH I HAD SAVED IT----It was amazing---CLEARLY republicans had terrible record, while democrats were all good. I don't remember how far it went back.
If anyone has it---I would love to save it.

what part was unclear? "The Last President" was unclear? Bill Clinton left us with a budget surplus. Just eight short years ago; our last president left our nation with a budget surplus.

Yes I read the link...........My point is that we had a president who was able to provide the nation with a budget surplus more that once yet we totally ignore that record and want to move in a "new direction".

The Debt

The wealthy created the problem and benefited from it - let them pay for it.
  
I know Warren

not personally mind you but know of him. I don't know who Pete Peterson is though, or if I did I've forgotten. I do know when Warren talks or acts, to pay attention. Kinda like that old commercial, when so & so starts talking all the people stop talking and listen...was that Charles Schwab?
  
well that is a good sign

warren buffett has been wanting to do this for two years now.

He reported that it is wrong and it is that we live in nation where he pays 17% of his income in taxes and his receptionist who makes 60,000 payst 30% of her income in taxes. Buffett threw out this gauntlet to the wealthy almost two years ago.

I have written numerous blogs on deficit spending and here is a another of my blogs from August 18 on this topic of reducing the deficit.

thanks Liz

I have heard about it for two years and just found this on the Canadian news---so glad they are doing it----I did not know much about Peterson, but am reading
I have said for at least 3+ years now----we are in really really deep doo doo and we are taking down many around the world with us.

If I had not been an Obama supporter, I would have changed from whomever I was supporting as soon as Buffett came out for him.
