The Oracle Speaks...

"Twelve members of Congress will soon take on the crucial job of rearranging our country’s finances. They've been instructed to devise a plan that reduces the 10-year deficit by at least $1.5 trillion. It’s vital, however, that they achieve far more than that. Americans are rapidly losing faith in the ability of Congress to deal with our country’s fiscal problems. Only action that is immediate, real and very substantial will prevent that doubt from morphing into hopelessness. That feeling can create its own reality." - Warren Buffett 8/15/11
