Does anyone agree with Warren Buffet on how to end the debt ceiling in 5 minutes?
In a recent interview he said that we could end the debt ceiling in less than 5 minutes by making it so if there's a deficit of more than 3%, all sitting members of congress are ineligible for re-election.
I personally think when Buffet said "5 minutes" he didn't literally mean five minutes. He is just trying to say it's not as difficult as Washington is making it out to be.

Best comment I've seen to date says (paraphrased):"I think the Congress should do this every day. They've got nothing better to do. And the economy's humming along and everything's swell here on the shining city on the hill."You'd certainly think a vote that has been routine for several...
