According to CNBC, Warren Buffett will be writing a check to help pay down the national debt. He is going to match voluntary contributions made this year and last year by Rep. Scott Rigell, a Republican representing Virginia. Buffett promises to match voluntary contributions aimed at deficit reduction by all Republican members of Congress.
Buffett will hold his check until April 20 to see if anyone accepts his challenge. Right now, the amount for matching Rigell is just over $49,000.
For Warren Buffett to write a check for $49K is like me kicking in a penny for a meal with thousands of people. Politics!
In case your wondering why he didn’t offer the challenge to Democrats, he may not think he would get any response.
Could it be, he’s visited Jimmy too many times in Margaritaville.
Blew out a flipflop.
