Buffett Says Federal Debt Poses Risks to Economy

"The U.S. must address the massive amounts of “monetary medicine” that have been pumped into the financial system and now pose threats to the world’s largest economy and its currency, billionaire Warren Buffett said."

I was surprised that Buffett didn't have more common sense when he was supporting Obama - now he is worried. Spank him too.

Didn't hear this tone from Buffett when the .gov was backstopping his "investments." Weird how that works, huh?

Democrats Reject Warren Buffett's Bid for Derivatives Exemption

Democrats in the Senate aren't buying what Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is selling.
The Wall Street Journal reports (subscription required) late this morning that Democrats have agreed to "kill a provision from their derivatives bill pushed by Berkshire Hathaway that would have allowed the company to avoid a significant financial hit." CNBC's John Harwood has confirmed that development with his sources, although John notes the finreg debate still has a ways to go in the Senate, and then in House-Senate negotiations.

Glad that Buffett can't buy his way into that exemption. When it comes to making money or not having to spend it, every company seems to think it is a special case.

Oh, maybe it's that way with people too?
