    I hear Warren Buffett is close to make an offer to Paulson and Cheney for controlling share of the United States.

    So it's been over a year this thread was created and I thought you might have since changed your mind about the possibility of Uncle Sam defaulting on its IOU by 2014. Has anything much happened except the dizzying roller coaster ride of 2008-09 that might lead you to think differently? Well, the federal debt ceiling, for one, is off the hook and the dollar came dangerously close to collapsing. Worse, there's no solid evidence that we're out of the woods just yet.

    Anyway, I'll be resurrecting this baby at least once a year until 2014 to gauge your reaction (should I be around that long).
