Buffett to taxpayers: Get over your anger

Taxpayer anger against President Barack Obama and Congress is counterproductive because policy makers took measures including deficit spending to stimulate the economy (which didn't farking work! -ed) , billionaire investor Warren Buffett told CNBC.

“Sentiment has turned very sour in the last three or four or five months,”  (well, duh, I wonder why?! -ed) the chairman and CEO of Omaha-based Berkshire Hathaway Inc. said in an interview broadcast Thursday.

Well, I guess people are really starting to get interested in the democratic process again.  I sometimes wish our congress was as hard core as those of some other nations, where fights break out over contentious issues.  No room for squishes in a fight like that!  Of course, once punching gets to be common, how much longer is it before more radical measures are taken? 

It will be interesting to see what happens in the face of all the illegality that the Dems will be engaged in this year.  Will there be fights at the polls?  What will happen when news of the (no doubt) epic level of Democrat voter fraud leaks?  The last cycle was, I suspect, just a warm up for this year's ballot box stuffing.  They know they've got to pull out all the stops this year or be thrown out of power.

Really?  Hmm...explains why there's been so many in my house.  I live just down I-81 from Allentown.

26 These politicians remind me a lot of actors.  Actors have a minimal personality which can be filled by the role they are playing.  You don't get to know most actors, cuz there is nothing there.  This is one of the reasons hollywierd is so f'd up.  They are all playing the green/progressive role at the moment.  During WWII they all played the patriotic/brave role and were very effective.

Politicians have no strong opinions about anything except getting elected.  Their opinions are whatever their base fills them with at the moment.  You never know what you are getting during run-ups to elections because their opinions are those of 51% of the electorate - whether or not they believe or agree with them.  Once in office, their opinions are those of 51% of the political class.

What the hell is the story with those things? I read somewhere they came from China and that the epicenter of the infestation is somewhere around Allentown, Pa. Don't they have any predators? I walked outside yesterday and there were about 100 of them all around the deck, on every window, all over the siding, hanging from the eaves.

I think we need a stink bug czar.

yeah they are from china. i don't know about predators, but i do know that you shouldn't swat them or crush them inside your home because they..welll..stink.

What I have been doing is gingerly wrapping them in a piece of tissue paper, then taking them outside and crushing them and putting them in the garbage can.

Also apparently soapy water being sprayed on them works too.

They are coming in down my chimney.

Amen.  Buffett made his initial fortune by buying up good small businesses that had to be liquidated by the heirs in order to pay the inheritance tax.  He got rich off the death tax, and grew his fortune from there.  Then has the gall to come out and tell us all that it's for the greater good that the "rich" (meaning people with money, but WAY less than him) have to surrender their life's work to the Fed.  Piss on him.  And frankly, I distrust any man who would short change his own heirs.  There is, in my opinion, a moral responsibility to try to leave the fruit of your labor (the excess of what you need for your own well being/happiness) for the next generation of your own family (assuming they're not pricks).

Have no fear comrades, AP has a poll that shows that Republicans are even more unpopular than Democrats. I'm sure no one at AP knows anyone who votes Republican

 

WASHINGTON – If anyone is scorned as much as Democrats these days, it's Republicans — the party that may recapture the House and perhaps the Senate in November's elections.

In an Associated Press-GfK Poll this month, 60 percent disapprove of the job congressional Democrats are doing — yet 68 percent frown on how Republicans are performing. While 59 percent are unhappy with how Democrats are handling the economy, 64 percent are upset by the GOP's work on the country's top issue. Just over half have unfavorable views of each party.

Most say President Barack Obama isn't cooperating enough on the economy; yet even more accuse Republicans of the same thing.

Sept. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Democrats delayed a congressional vote on extending Bush-era tax cuts until after the Nov. 2 elections, setting up a showdown with Republicans as the reductions near expiration at yearÂ’s end.

“I suspect the Democratic leadership thinks that wavering members will feel freer” after the election to support legislation that allowed the tax cuts to lapse for higher income brackets, said Henry Aaron, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution in Washington who studies congressional tax, health, and economic policy. “The risk in that strategy is that the Democrats will emerge from the election shell-shocked and running for the hills.”

As for Boehner fucking around, whether it's true or not is irrelevant.  Now that it's common knowledge that the NYT is timing the release to help the Glorious Workers' Revolution, it is a non-starter.

Its tough reading shitty instructions written by Chinese Instruction gnomes with sweat pouring out of your cap down into your eyes.

I forgot that "human factors" to the Chinese means a male above the age of 30 who sells 14 year old girls as slaves to people like Mao.

75 And yeah, we have swarms of stink bugs here as well. If they did come from China it was long ago because we have had them as long as I can remember.

76 Vic, I recently bought a cheapo charcoal grill at my local Home Depot. The only problem was that it came pre-assembled, so it took some effort to get it home. It was amazingly inexpensive (and cheaply built) -- $35.

77 The NY Times has a pattern of publishing innuendos of affairs with Republicans close to victory- Bush 41 and Mccain both received this treatment. I am surprised that they are going after a Representative- how many of the voters in his Ohio district are paying attention to that rag?

78 The delay in the Bush tax cuts is being done so they can attach them to other poison pill legislation they think a few of the RINOs will come across to support.

What the stupids haven't taken into account is that the Republican House will take over in a short period of time and they will sit them out (if they have any sense).

This is a gas grill so it was a little more expensive; $85.00. I used to buy the expensive ones for around $300 - $500. I found that they rusted out just as fast as the cheap ones. I even bought an very expensive one touted as "stainless steel". The burners rusted out so they obviously lied. 

LOL, and the last thing I bought from the local Home Depot and had them assemble. It took a week for them to "get around to it" and when I got it they had put it together wrong. So the money I paid them to assemble it was wasted. I had to take it apart and put it back together correctly.

So I don't go that route anymore.

Yes, I'm familiar with that problem. I have one of those expensive built-in gas grills that originally had cast iron burners. I had to remove the burners to prep them for every season. They finally got so bad I replaced them. The manufacturer's replacement burners are now stainless. So far -- two seasons now -- they're holding up pretty well.

The charcoal grill was for an annual fly fishing/cooking outing, so its overall cheapness wasn't a real issue.
