I would push purchasing power - you push out $1,000 of purchasing to those people, it's going to get - it's going to get spent. And it needs to be spent. They need it. And it should come, to some extent, from guys like me.

Warren Buffett

On taking office, Obama promised the 'most transparent' administration in history; yet his record as president has been anything but transparent.

Bob Barr
