[SEL] Warren Buffett on debt ceiling affects my rusty iron

[Al Kamminga]

This subject certainly has something to do with my rusty iron. I have no free cash to attend shows, buy iron, or much of anything else. In fact my investment seems to be worth less as the days go by. If this subject is crap or politics I, for one, as part of SEL suffer. Maybe I need to hear this and pass it on to my friends. Just saying. Al Kamminga
