More than a decade ago, Warren Buffett said the national deficit could be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/02/43904075/warren-buffett-said-he-could-end-u-s-deficit-in-5-minutes-if-you-guys-cant-get-it-done-well-get-some-other-guys-to-get-it-done">solved in just five minutes</a>. His plan? "You just pass a law that says that any time there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for reelection."
That 2011 quote, from an interview with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2011/07/07/warren-buffetts-5minute-plan-to-fix-the-deficit.html">CNBC's Becky Quick</a>, resurfaced in early June — and this time, it gained traction with one of the world's most influential voices.
On June 4, Utah Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) <a href="https://x.com/BasedMikeLee/status/1930222931377844568">posted the clip on X</a> and asked, "Would you support this amendment?" Elon Musk didn't hesitate. He <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1930298268661232083">reposted it</a> with the words "100%" and "This is the way," signaling full endorsement of Buffett's blunt solution.

</ul>
The idea, while simple on its face, taps into longstanding frustration over congressional accountability and ballooning debt. Buffett originally framed the plan as a tongue-in-cheek solution to Washington gridlock, but made it clear he believed politicians would act faster if their jobs were on the line.
"I can end the deficit in five minutes," he told Quick at the time. "It's just that simple."
Back in 2011, the U.S. <a href="https://www.cbo.gov/publication/42532">deficit hovered just over $1 trillion</a>, about 8.5% of GDP. Today, it's projected to top $1.9 trillion — or roughly 6.7% of GDP. By Buffett's rule, Congress would have long since cleared out.
Lee, who reposted the clip on X, seemed to agree — and has hinted at wanting to turn it into real policy. In fact, several of his <a href="https://x.com/basedmikelee/status/1930454376000217304">recent posts call for stricter balanced budget</a> measures and constitutional amendments to force fiscal discipline. But translating Buffett's viral soundbite into actual legislation would require a two-thirds majority in both chambers or a convention of states — a high bar in any political climate.
Trending: Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/americans-spend-1000-per-year-on-plastic-water-bottles-kara-pod-gives-you-clean-drinking-water-by-pulling-moisture-from-the-air">And You Can Invest At Just $6.37/Share</a>
Musk's endorsement of the idea adds fuel, though. His ability to move public opinion — and occasionally policy discussion — with a single post has made him one of the most unpredictable influencers in politics, even without holding office.
The Buffett clip is gaining renewed momentum among fiscal hawks and frustrated taxpayers alike. And while Buffett may have said it half in jest, the message still lands with a punch: if lawmakers were held personally accountable for the budget, the deficit might not be a recurring headline.
Buffett and Musk <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/03/44075038/warren-buffett-says-he-has-spoken-to-elon-musk-a-few-times-but-repeatedly-dodges-questions-about-tesla-ceos-doge-efforts-well-i-better-not-get-into-all-that">haven't always been aligned</a>. Buffett famously declined to invest in Tesla (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), favoring Chinese automaker BYD instead. Musk, in turn, has publicly taken jabs at Buffett. "To be totally frank, I'm not his biggest fan," Musk told Joe Rogan on "<a href="https://youtu.be/RcYjXbSJBN8?si=AHItbBcTYYxDeQ-F">The Joe Rogan Experience</a>" in 2020. "He does a lot of capital allocation… reads a lot of annual reports… it's pretty boring, really."
But on this, they agree. Both men see congressional accountability as key to fixing the deficit—and Musk's viral repost gave Buffett's decade-old solution a jolt of relevance in today's debate.&nbsp;

With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751666417_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Fiserv P/E Compared to Competitors</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 35.47 in the Financial Services industry, Fiserv Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 30.52. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751666417_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751662815_0_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Sherwin-Williams P/E Ratio Analysis in Relation to Industry Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Compared to the aggregate P/E ratio of the 169.21 in the Chemicals industry, Sherwin-Williams Inc. has a lower P/E ratio of 33.32. Shareholders might be inclined to think that the stock might perform worse than it's industry peers. It's also possible that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751662815_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.

A Reddit user claims they were offered what they call a dream job—a role created specifically for them, thanks to a rare skill set. But one small lie about their salary is now threatening the entire opportunity.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A $3K Lie And A Pay Stub Request</h2>
According to the <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/careeradvice/comments/1lnfem1/a_potential_employer_offered_me_my_dream_job_but/">post</a> in Reddit&#8217;s r/careeradvice subreddit, the prospective employer offered $60,000 and asked for a recent pay stub to verify their current salary. The problem? The applicant told them they make $65,000. In reality, they earn $62,000.

The request for a pay stub struck many commenters as inappropriate, if not suspicious. &#8220;It's a red flag for them to even ask how much you currently make,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;I would say you're not comfortable providing a paystub, but they are welcome to verify your employment through a standard background check.&#8221;
Another user added, &#8220;That's wack, I&#8217;m glad it&#8217;s illegal where I live.&#8221;
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">&#8216;Dream Job&#8217; Or Red Flag?</h2>
While some were sympathetic to the applicant&#8217;s dilemma, many pointed out that the job offer didn't seem like much of a dream after all.
&#8220;I don&#8217;t know if you know what a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/05/45565105/becoming-a-flight-attendant-was-supposed-to-be-a-dream-job-instead-it-wrecked-their-finances-its-been-financially-devastating">dream job</a> is, or maybe you have sh&#x2A;tty dreams but a salary decrease and you&#8217;re losing benefits, PTO, and a week off on Xmas? How is this a dream job?&#8221; one person asked. On the other hand, the original poster said their <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45445458/i-got-a-new-job-with-my-dream-salary-but-now-i-miss-my-old-job-suze-orman-offers-some-advice">current job isn&#8217;t a good fit</a> for them and &#8220;isn&#8217;t going well.&#8221;
Still, others questioned the value of the so-called rare skill set. &#8220;People with very rare skills don&#8217;t command salaries in the mid-60s,&#8221; a commenter said.
Trending: Named a TIME Best Invention and Backed by 5,000+ Users, Kara's Air-to-Water Pod Cuts Plastic and Costs — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/americans-spend-1000-per-year-on-plastic-water-bottles-kara-pod-gives-you-clean-drinking-water-by-pulling-moisture-from-the-air">And You Can Invest At Just $6.37/Share</a>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Should They Fake It?</h2>
The thread also sparked a fierce debate about ethics. Some people encouraged OP to forge a pay stub. &#8220;Sometimes in life you take the easiest path,&#8221; one user said. &#8220;Capitalism is a big f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;n game.&#8221;
But most strongly advised against it. &#8220;Falsifying a pay stub is illegal as it is considered fraud with intent to gain monetarily,&#8221; one commenter warned. &#8220;It's a recipe for getting fired when they find out.&#8221;
Instead, people suggested the person lean into the truth and negotiate based on total compensation, not just salary. They should explain that they won't share a stub, but that the $65,000 number reflects total compensation, including health insurance, PTO, and bonuses.
&#8220;This isn't some aha gotcha moment,&#8221; another person reassured. &#8220;$3,000 is a rounding error. Most people round when talking about salary.&#8221;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Lesson In Negotiation</h2>
Another popular comment summed it up like this: &#8220;Your salary requirements for the new job should be based on the actual role and responsibilities for this type of position, your overall job experience, AND what the average salary is in your industry for this role.&#8221;
If the company insists on a pay stub, most commenters agree it&#8217;s not worth it. They should say: &#8216;$65K is the salary I would need to take this job. Thank you for your consideration.&#8217; And that's the end of the discussion.&#8221;

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall.

<h3>Comparing Golub Capital BDC P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio is used by long-term shareholders to assess the company's market performance against aggregate market data, historical earnings, and the industry at large. A lower P/E could indicate that shareholders do not expect the stock to perform better in the future or it could mean that the company is undervalued. 
Golub Capital BDC has a lower P/E than the aggregate P/E of 18.03 of the Capital Markets industry. Ideally, one might believe that the stock might perform worse than its peers, but it's also probable that the stock is undervalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1751659215_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In conclusion, the price-to-earnings ratio is a useful metric for analyzing a company's market performance, but it has its limitations. While a lower P/E can indicate that a company is undervalued, it can also suggest that shareholders do not expect future growth. Additionally, the P/E ratio should not be used in isolation, as other factors such as industry trends and business cycles can also impact a company's stock price. Therefore, investors should use the P/E ratio in conjunction with other financial metrics and qualitative analysis to make informed investment decisions.
