Warren Buffett, in a recent  interview with CNBC, offers one of the

>         "I could  end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just
>         pass a  law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more
>         than 3% of  GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible
>         for  re-election
>
>         The 26th amendment (granting the  right to vote for 18
>         year-olds) took only
>
>         3 months & 8 days  to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people
>         demanded it. That was in  1971...before computers, e-mail, cell
>         phones, etc.
>
>        Of  the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took 1 year
>         or  less to become the law of the land...all because of public

>         Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email  to

>         A Congressman collects a salary while in  office and receives no

>         All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move  to the

>         4. Congress will no longer vote  themselves a pay raise.
>         Congressional pay will rise by the lower  of CPI or 3%.
