there's an article on a new biomass converter that going through trials in arkansas that can convert garbage, human, industrial and agricultural wastes into oil for 8-15 dollars a barrel. Anyone who can turn these government agricultural and industrial cost centers into profit centers plus clean up the environment is going to be a conquering hero. ////////////////////// The company raised another $50 million from investors including Howard Buffet, the son of Warren Buffet, and James Woolsey, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency.

You can bet that Buffett has his own agenda.

This is the SAME Buffett who said the Bush tax cuts are bad....so, will he advise Arnold to cut taxes?
To: Impeach the Boy
no he'll advise him to turn biomass into oil for ten dollars a barrel, cut insurance premiums on small businesses and cut government saleries.
meanwhile monetary and fiscal policies will grow the economy and the tech sector will come out of hibernation to refuel the california economy and refill government coffers.
the deficit will be gone in 3 years max but likely much less.

Are you on DRUGS?...Buffet supported Hillary Clinton. He says tax cuts are bad (a STUPID thing to assert)....Buffet is probable evidence that Arnold will be little more than democrat-lite....I will SAVE your post, and feed it back to you in crow pie.
To: ckilmer
You are such an optimist.

Considering the wag-the-dog advise Bubba is going to give Davis, if I lived in any state bordering California, I would be worried about cruise missiles.

To: NH Liberty
Flaming.
To: EternalVigilance
Steve Forbes and Arthur Laffer also joined the Schwarzenegger team today.
Are they leftists?

No, just dumb. You're funny, EV. And increasingly irrelevant to this entire discussion.

And Buffet's agenda is a liberal one. That's where the lion's share of his contributions goes. Not three months ago, he was Koppel's sole guest, arguing against Bush's tax cuts. The liberal media fawns over him constantly.
To: sinkspur
"...also joined the Schwarzenegger team today."In what capacities?
To: Bonaparte
In what capacities? I dunno. Heard it on the radio.
Maybe Arnold's just looking for guys who will work for free.

"Not three months ago, he was Koppel's sole guest, arguing against Bush's tax cuts."
Buffet has a pile of dollars. He wants the value of those dollars to go up. Cutting taxes has made the dollar go down. Clinton/Rubin raising taxes made the dollar go up. This is the way it always is. Look at the advice the IMF gives to Argentina or Russia when their currency is declining. Raise taxes. Each and every time.
Lowering the value of the dollar as Bush did was exactly the right policy. A sky high dollar was killing American manufacturing, mining, and agriculture. It was the only way. There is a time and place for every style of fiscal policy. In this time and place, Bush was 100% correct and Buffett 100% wrong.
Nonetheless I bet he will give Arnold good advice. The Governator of Cali has nothing to do with the level of the dollar. Buffett will tell Arnold to do what he has done to every business he has managed or advised. When you are in financial trouble, cut expenses as a first step.

You're funny, EV. And increasingly irrelevant to this entire discussion. Yeah?
I think the facts I have brought to the debate are very relevent.
Schwarzenegger is surrounding himself with liberals and hacks...confirming everything I've warned about for the last week.
To: EternalVigilance
Schwarzenegger is surrounding himself with liberals and hacks...confirming everything I've warned about for the last week. Forbes is a hack? Arthur Laffer, father of Reagan's supply-side tax cut, is a hack?
Your warnings have me literally quaking, EV.
You're a very funny man.

Steve Forbes and Arthur Laffer also joined the Schwarzenegger team today. I shouldn't have to remind you that Art Laffer, in spite of his credentials as one of the original supply-siders, campaigned for Slick in 1992.
