    This is the clown that said he would buy US treasuries even if they had no yield. So what good is his opinion if it’s so moronic?

    Looks like drinking all that high fructose coca cola has finally destroyed his brain! Karma’s a bitch and I can’t wait to see it!

  15. ivjf212 Says:

    @DiggingNorway He’s talking about historic economic performance, such as the great depression and the crash of 87 and so on, there were many slumps and recessions in America’s “short history,” many of which Buffet lived through. Why don’t you go read a book about Buffet before calling him an idiot.

  16. DiggingNorway Says:

    Buffet is an idiot. Look back a couple of hundred years??? A couple of hundred years back the people in the US was expected to live for 45 years, was basically not born in the US, but abroad (immigrants)… the US has, relative to rest of the world, no history at all. How can you use historic performance as a measure for future performance when the former does not excist?

    @Avidcomp negators will be proved wrong just like its always been!!!

  18. Avidcomp Says:

    California does have a special program…another bailout.
    Those banks will do fine because they’re getting bailouts.
    Chrysler…bailout.
    Buffett wants the bailouts because he’s benefited.
    Warren..the U.S. has not been saved. The debt will be defaulted upon because it cannot now be paid back, and then your dollars will no longer be a trusted currency.
    Sit this man in a room with Jim Rogers

    Bullshit – this country is finished. Right now all your commie friends are handing the Chinese everything to gain access to their markets.

  23. ALLWORKTOFIXPROBLEMS Says:

    Money is just numbers, I guess inflating our way out is ok, but alot of people arent gonna like it, at first, but in the end its all good, but DAMN IT, we need, The U.S.A., needs to show that we are bad ass, and that we are responible, I say, inflate our way out of this debt, and NO MORE DEBT EXCEPT FOR EMERGINCES!!! Damn, lets show people we are the best nation at this game of numbers and we can KEEP A BUDGET, know that would be bad ass, people would say, Hey, america is bad ass with a budget!!

  24. bthegood Says:

    I love his long term optimism and I totally agree, however he did say “at some point it’s (a county with high debt to gdp) going to inflate it’s way out of that debt” buy silver!! Gold should be $2300 an ounce silver should be $230 an ounce.

    @TYX91101 or perhaps the people are merely reflecting the mood of the media.
