'Impressed' and 'Delighted' Warren Buffett Matches GOP Rep's Deficit Donations

Hay Warren, reach into your wallet and pay your office staff what you think they are worth! It's not up to me and my business to finance your enterprise.

Come to think of it, why should Congress be allowed to give themselves a raise? Some neutral party should do that, like say, put it on a ballot for their constituents?

So if my math is correct, Rigell made $154,000 for 2011 and will make $174,000 in 2012. I guess Congress thinks it's OK to give themselves a 13% raise... ridiculous....

It's an honor to serve this country! These men should be like soldiers on Capitol Hill! That should be their place of duty until their office is done. Put them to work non-stop to earn that hard earned American money! I served this country for over 20 years as a service member; I would do the above and turn down the pay after my term in office to help this country.

Did congress just give themselves an 11.5% pay increase? Compare the congressman's 11 and 12 contributions at 15% of their annual salary? Not just this poor guy - BUT who in america received this kind of merit raise????

If I could ask for one thing for this country, it would be for cooperation between the two parties. Forget your differences. Quit trying to make the other guy look bad. Everyone try to pull together to get the country back on track.

The politics of obstruction is killing this country!

Long story,short version;
I just received a $40,000 loan from the Fed. GOV.through our local county gov. The loan program is designed to increase jobs and fund new business.
It took 3 and 1/2 months to get me the money, the county charged me almost $2,000 off the top! Put a 3rd lien on my already under water home.(I guess so if we fail we will become homeless as well as out of work). They at times were so confused as to what they were doing in the process it was scary.
Now my point; This local sub section of gov. that is handing out our hard earned federal tax dollars has clearly no idea of what it is doing. It was the most unprofessional loan process I have ever seen. I am sure this was not a fluke. So MORE $ in is not the answer. Smarter more HONEST spending is.
(imagine if I wrote the long version)?

Hell, we should reduce the pay of all in congress to $50,000. They don't deserve any more for the mess they have made of this country. They should be happy that we don't ask them to give back all that they have made since they went to congress.........

How about taxing American multinational products Made in China coming back into the country.

Buffett and Rigell putting their money where their mouth is. Too bad the rest of DC can't follow suit. They can stick their mouths where the sun don't shine.

Rigell is okay in my book... but whats with the rest of them? They can't donate part of thier salaries as well? Most of them are already loaded and are making $150k+ as an elected official.

Gotta respect someone who puts his money where his mouth is...now lets vote in term limits

I hereby invite the federal government to cut spending.

Why are congressmen getting free benefits, like any federal or state worker? They should pay into like the rest of us poor saps using 401K and paying into my own medical, which I lose if I get fired or lose my job.....

Why don't we do a new thing called " Live AID for America " ........ we can get a bunch of rock stars, hold a two day concert, and get live donations over the phone, like any other telethon and raise money for AMERICA ?

Now if we could only get 306,122,449 more people to donate $49,000 each the debt would be paid off!

when i do my taxes i have to count my gains from cd's as income i see no reason capital gains should be treated differently. my gains from cd's should be taxed at the same rate as gains from capital gains, NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Idiot

Meanwhile Apple Corp has 54 BILLION dollars in cash overseas AVOIDING the IRS. People thought GE was bad? LOL! Of course they always ignore Apple especially during Occupy Wall Street protests despite the fact that Apple is the largest corporation in the world. Go figure.

good show, instead of complaining do it!
