Could
this be an idea whose time has come?
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.
Warren Buffet is asking each person
to email this to
a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask
each of those to do likewise.
In three days, most people in The United States of America will
have the message. This is one idea that
really should be passed
around.
