Watching Warren Buffett's interview on Charlie Rose last night was the first time I felt any sense of calm about the whole economic situation. He breaks it down to its most simple form and lays out why the rescue bill isnt just necessary thing but a good investment for America. I also like his suggestion of having a Treasury Secretary debate instead of a VP debate. :)
