Billionaire investor, Midwestern mogul, Friend-of-Bill (Gates). He's known by many monikers, but should we add Viagra aficionado? Warren Buffett opines:"Our first stimulus bill ... was sort of like taking half a tablet of Viagra and having also a bunch of candy mixed in... as if everybody was putting in enough for their own constituents. It doesn't really quite have the wallop that might have been anticipated there."First, note, half a tablet of Viagra is more than enough for most men, if we are talking about a 100mg pill. We even recommend starting with a quarter pill, and we provide a guide to pill splitters to help you make that cut.
We hesitate to offer advice on macroeconomic policy, though we will note that metaphors don't come from nowhere. Might it be that 78 year-old Mr. Buffett is no stranger to the stimulating power of the magic blue pill? If so, he earns mad props, and we wish him many happy returns!.
