“At Berkshire Hathaway's headquarters in Omaha, NE, they have fewer than 25 people employed there. As for what there wages are, I have no idea, perhaps you know.”

“I, along with three or four other volunteers worked the behind the scenes phone bank with Studs Terkel during one night of KCET's on-air auction in the early 70s. Being politically inexperienced at the time, I had no idea who he was, other than just a modest, unassuming, and genuinely friendly, decent guy.

It was a sad day for all of us when Stud's passed away last year. But now to hear his name mentioned in the same breath with J. Edgar Hoover and the FBI upsets me. Mr. Terkel was a class act, and Mr. Hoover was just plain crass.”

“to DSteel: Warren Buffett's salary, as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, is $100K, which, according to my calculations is $250K lower than Costco's CEO.

Oh, and Buffett drinks a lot of Coke :)”

Memo to Warren Buffett: Put Down the Pom-Poms and Tell Us the Truth About the Economy

“to interoctave: Had I even made six figures, I would have saved at least 50%. I never even came close to that, but I managed to save at least 15% of my income each year for over 20 years, and I haven't made a car payment in over 27 years. It can be done if you budget properly, and don't try to impress your neighbors. I hope you find work soon, but my questions are, when you were making six figures, did you spend a lot more than you saved? Did you think it would last forever?”

“To 1logicalthinker:
You wrote: "...when you were making six figures, did you spend a lot more than you saved? Did you think it would last forever?"

I could get into the details of the costs of living in California on one paycheck, or I could add that my wife has been diagnosed by MS, and I could go over my budget and expenses with you over the last twenty years. But to look at what I saying above and ask "Did you think it would last forever?" shows that you are both missing the point and attempting to place blame. I believe your intentions are good, but I find your question slightly insulting as well as naive.”

“Everything you say is true; unfortunately, our Gross National Product only counts the money spent. Therefore, penal costs, emergency room care, psychiatric meds, etc. are all considered a plus in our system. If we used a different indicator, e.g., Quality of Life, we would get a different result.”

“They do help a lot of people. In fact, the church has paid tens of millions of dollars in legal settlements to victims in dozens of clergy abuse cases over the past decade. This is not counting all of the money that the church paid to the lawyers for legal fees. Think of it as the Catholic Church Economic Stimulus Plan ;)”

“You can say all you want to denigrate the Catholic Church; however, please keep in mind that without the church and many of the priests, thousands of lawyers would have been unemployed long before the "Economic Stimulus Plan." :)”

“But then if you balance the economy generated by catholic church crime with the economic cost -- the unemployment payments, emergency room care, psychiatric meds, food stamps, AFDC, and penal costs related to government care of victims of sexual abuse by priests -- you begin figure out that it hasn't been so much a stimulus as it has been a great cost in blood and treasure. And we don't even tax them.”

“Not to mention the doctors, marriage counselors, psychotherapists, SSRI peddlers, drug dealers, bail bondsmen, bartenders, and liquor stores the church kept in business by inflicting indelible emotional trauma on the victims of sexual abuse.”
