Instead they act like the WWF with their knock down, drag out style of political analysis. Is it crazy to put your hopes in a 2 year plan for economic recovery that the Dems have bet the bank on? I don't think so when, first of all, the economic recovery plan was started at the end of the previous Republican Administration! And it was continued with many of the original Federal Agency heads, which you would think might encourage bipartisan backing. But, instead, all the Republicans can offer as a solution is TAX CUTS! Which leads me to my second point: Try to imagine what would have happened if the House Republican were in charge and we passed NOTHING except more of the same from the previous ten years - more TAX CUTS! Did anybody happen to mention that we're only four months into a two year recovery plan and that it may be crazy to be talking about its' failure before it hardly even starts? Is it crazy to imagine the financial world in total collapse? Insanity has a very short term memory, doesn't it? No, Justin, you’re not crazy;

Which leads me to my second point: Try to imagine what would have happened if the House Republican were in charge and we passed NOTHING except more of the same from the previous ten years – more TAX CUTS!

And I still do not understand the endless grandstanding and hypocrisy on the Republican side, but I do think you're being a bit too decisive here. In my opinion, Buffet's words should be a conversation on the reasons why the Republicans should really soften their approach, and not another reason to start pointing fingers...
