Idea Warren Buffet untuk selesaikan masalah ekonomi U.S pada tahun 2003.

Warren Buffett antara orang yang Obama percaya dan kemungkinan besar akan menjadi pembantu beliau untuk menyelesaikan krisis ekonomi U.S. Salah satu cadangan yang Warren Buffet cadangkan pada tahun 2003 ialah masalah trade defisit - trade balance dan solutionnya ialah:-

" We would achieve this [trade] balance by issuing what I will call Import Certificates (ICs) to all U.S. exporters in an amount equal to the dollar value of their exports. Each exporter would, in turn, sell the ICs to parties – either exporters abroad or importers here – wanting to get goods into the U.S. To import $1 million of goods, for example, an importer would need ICs that were the byproduct of $1 million of exports. The inevitable result: trade balance"

Without this plan, he said, the dollar and our economy would crash as our debt became untenable.
