Buffett Calls for Unity Despite ‘Economic Pearl Harbor’ 

The United States is facing an economic Pearl Harbor and has seen its economy “fall off a cliff,” said Berkshire Hathaway’s Warren Buffett in a CNBC interview Monday. Now, according to the well-known investor, the country faces a choice of remaining confused and divided, or uniting under what must be done. “Fear is very contagious,” Buffet said. “I’ve never seen the consumer — or Americans — more fearful than this.”
