NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Warren Buffett praised the U.S. government Tuesday for its efforts to heal the economy, but the influential investor said he expects a slow recovery as consumers remain wary of spending.

Buffett said U.S. officials have done "a terrific job, all things considered" to help forestall the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.

"We were right at the brink," Buffett told Carol Loomis, Fortune senior editor at large, at the magazine's Most Powerful Women Summit in California. "This country was becoming not only dysfunctional, but nearly inoperative."

2. They Will Probably Accuse Warren Buffet Of Being The Biggest Communist Since Mao

I can only imagine the CNBC types lecturing Warren Buffet on the virtues of capitalism, and telling Buffet to put away his little red book.
