[...] Ending Tax Loopholes? Look, gang, let’s call this what it is… We’ve been talking about closing loopholes in the tax code for deacdes, now. This nonsense ain’t gonna happen. And isn’t it interesting to hear Obama complain about tax cheats when so many of his nominees are tax cheats themselves? This stuff would be laughable were it not so tragic. And again, Michelle has more. [...]

Uh oh! Does this mean he’s going after the Kennedy Trust Funds that are currently enjoying tax-free status in sheltered accounts in the Bahamas? Does he also plan to go after Georgie Soros, who purposely established his companies overseas to avoid U.S. tax liabilities? Don’t hold your breath.

Hell must be close to freezing over. A piece of legislation from the Messiah that I actually agree with. As a recent high tech high paid employee who lost their job due to offshoring (sorry Barry, it isn’t a low tech low paying job), closing some of these loopholes that put american workers at a disadvantage is long overdue. It isn’t a free market when your own goverment sets policy that puts both workers and businesses at a disadvantage.

The Congressional Budget Office predicts that government debt will peak around 54 percent of GDP in 2011.

But Buffett told CNBC Monday morning that the ratio could surpass 80 percent — unless there are significant spending cuts or tax increases.

After a testy exchange with Sen. Judd Gregg, who suggested that President Obama’s plans to hike federal spending would only increase the nation’s staggering national debt, Buffett relented by stating that, in the end, the U.S. government simply will do what every other government has done in such circumstances.

“A country that continuously expands its debt as a percentage of GDP and raises much of the money abroad to finance that, at some point, it’s going to inflate its way out of the burden of that debt,” Buffett said.
