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.
**********************************
The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds)
took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple!
The people demanded it. That was in 1971 – before computers, e-mail,
cell phones, etc.
Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year
or less to become the law of the land – all because of public pressure.
THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS!
Congressional Reform Act of 2012
1. No Tenure / No Pension.
A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no
pay when they’re out of office.
2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social
Security.
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the
Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into
the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the
American people. It may not be used for any other purpose.
3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all
Americans do.
4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.
Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
5. Congress loses their current health care system and
participates in the same health care system as the American people.
6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the
American people.
7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void
effective 12/1/12. The American people did not make this
contract with Congressmen/women.
Congress made all these Contracts for Themselves
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career
The Founding Fathers
Envisioned Citizen Legislators, so Ours should serve their
term(s), then go home and back to work.
It would be a New Day in America
A Day in which Our Government Actually Worked

For those of you who still have not signed up for Twitter I would encourage you to do so as this election draws near. I spend a good deal of time on Twitter each day getting our message out and the results are phenomenal as far as results and reaching the largest audience in the shortest amount of time. The Conservatives on Twitter are on fire for America and will re-tweet your posts to an ever expanding audience.
I am reaching more people on a world wide basis then I ever could with just my blogs. The interaction and support I receive from my Twitter Friends and Followers on Twitter by far exceeds my wildest expectations.
Twitter is by far the best resource we have available to US for turning the tide of this Election.

Buffett is so rich that he can speak freely.
I totally agree with the above statement from him that you posted.
Essentially, he is embracing Romneys position on ‘how to run a business’.
Buffett is a billionaire, Romney is a multi-millionaiire.
Big difference.
Both made their money through investing, and had limited influence on the tax laws.
They both took advantage of the loopholes for the rich that congress passed through legislation, all the while giving themselves (congress) a pass on any interrogation on how they made THEIR MONEY.
Harry Reid has stepped in it.
They (the libs) are incessant on taking down anyone that confronts anything that they say.
Where did Dingy Harry get the money to afford a Penthouse in Washington, D.C. on his salary ?
The desperation is becoming obvious.

As always AFVET you nailed the point of this blog perfectly. I can’t believe I wrote about Warren Buffett to begin with but when he makes a statement like this how can I pass it up.

His reference to ending the budget deficit tells you that he us a smart businessman.
Warren Buffet does not buy lame companies, he buys successful companies.
Mitt Romney took on the risk to invest in companies that were not successful and offered money and expertise to resurrect and rebuild the companies.
Romney had more successes than failures by a long shot.

Harry has sold whatever honor he had. Reid has no credibility and neither does Obama. Obama should have told Harry to shut up. I don’t believe that Reid just did this on his own. I believe he was paid to do it.
AFVET

Harry won his last election by a sliver, and he is in the senate for another 4 years.
Barry would never tell Reid to shut up, Harry is his best asset in the lame duck congress.
Pelosi has essentially been relegated to the back bench, however, the MSM still attempts to keep her in the front.
Learn to play chess muse, that is the game of the politicians.

It has come to my knowledge that Reid paid $750,000 for his humble penthouse in Washington, D.C.
He is worth around 3 to 4 million dollars.
He made his money by investing in mines close to his Searchlight, Nevada home.
He also has investments in casinos in Vegas.
By making his accusations against Romney on the senate floor, he cannot be liable for a lawsuit.
Once again, congress uses the ‘bully pulpit’ to level attacks against anybody they wish, and you cannot touch them legally.
Time to fix that !

WHEN – he set into motion a plan to take over the control of all energy in the United States through Cap and Trade, people said it didn’t matter.
WHEN – he finally completed his transformation of America into a Socialist State , people woke up— but it was too late. Add these up one by one and you get a phenomenal score that points to the fact that Barrack Hussein Obama is determined to turn America into a Marxist-Socialist society. All of the items in the preceding paragraphs have been put into place. All can be documented very easily. Before you disavow this do an Internet search. The last paragraph alone is not yet cast in stone. You and I will write that paragraph.
Will it read as above or will it be a more happy ending for most of America ?
Don’t just belittle the opposition. Search for the truth. We all need to pull together or watch the demise of a free democratic society. Pray for Americans to seek the truth and take action for it will keep us FREE. Our biggest enemy is not China, Russia, North Korea or Iran. Our biggest enemy is a contingent of politicians in Washington, DC . The government will not help, so we need to do it ourselves.
Question….will you delete this, or pass it on to others who don’t know about Obama’s actions and plans for the USA , so that they may know how to vote in November, 2012 and the ensuing years?
It’s your decision. I believe it does matter. How about you?
WHEN – November 2012 comes, it will matter who you vote for!
