Warren Buffett: 'I would vote for the Senate bill.'

I've been getting some e-mail lately about Warren Buffett apparently attacking health-care reform. Turns out he didn't, but that Fox News is saying he did. The relevant quote comes from an interview Buffett gave to CNBC on Monday. "If it was a choice today between plan A, which is what we've got, or plan B, the Senate bill, I would vote for the Senate bill. But I would much rather see a plan C that really attacks costs."

So would I, and so would the Obama administration. No one is saying the Senate bill is perfect. But they're saying it's far preferable to the status quo. Fox News, meanwhile, is saying that Buffett said "he simply cannot go along with this particular health care bill." In fact, he said the exact opposite. I continue to be amazed that lying brazenly to your audience is such a good business strategy.

2. A lot of folks have attacked it that will, indeed, vote for it. I have attacked it but would vote

for it.

4. I agree.

I don't like it all either, but we need something, a start, so we can build on that to get the "real" reform we need. Everything takes time and we can't things exactly the way we may want them done, so we need to start someplace, and this is better than nothing, contrary to what so may say! We can come back and make changes as we go using a simply majority if we have to, but we have do it now because the longer we wait, the harder it will be to get something done!

5. Yep. We gotta learn to suck on it and like it. nt

3. Since when has FAUX NOISE ever cared about the truth and/or facts????

They remind me of that old line about how one can tell if a used car salesman is lying...If his lips are moving, he is lying..

Same can be said of FAUX NOISE. If they are saying it, it is a lie.
