Buffett Rails Against Presidential Candidates Who Talk Down Economy
OANN ^ | February 27,2016 | Jennifer Ablan and Jonathan Stempel

Warren Buffett bemoaned the “negative drumbeat” on the U.S. economy from presidential candidates in his annual Berkshire Hathaway Inc shareholder letter on Saturday, saying they are misleading Americans into believing their children will be worse off than they are.

“It’s an election year, and candidates can’t stop speaking about our country’s problems (which, of course, only they can solve),” Buffett wrote, italicizing “they” for emphasis.

As a result of their dour outlook on the U.S. economy, many Americans now believe that their children will not live as prosperously as they themselves do, the 85-year-old Buffett said.

“That view is dead wrong: The babies being born in America today are the luckiest crop in history,” Buffett said.

Buffett did not single out any presidential candidates by name. The billionaire in December officially threw his backing behind Hillary Clinton, a Democrat.

Presidential Candidates Who Talk Down Economy are hoe the Democrats seized the White House in 1992 and 2008.

Buffet lives in a bubble as do all the elite that’s separate from most Americans.

He thinks the public’s sour mood is because of the GOP talking down the economy

Warren is a totalitarian socialist, because he gets to be on top.

Hope “they” put a target in this guy’s head. He needs to be prosecuted for the economic ruin that he and his Democrat buddies perpetrated on this country. Buffet is worse than Soros. There is a special place in hell for those who destroy the very system that enabled their success.

Who’s older, Buffett or Soros? And can we add a third supervillain so we can start an over/under betting pool of sorts?

Oh of course not. Nobody should talk down this robust nothing burger of an economy. Who cares if 40 million plus are out of work. Let’s not talk about it.

Open borders folks, that’s what’s important...

No wall.

Sanctuary cities are all-American places...

Buffett Rails Against Presidential Candidates Who Talk Down Economy

If I were Buffett, I would too!

Because of his membership in the 1%, he is in the enviable position of profiting hugely regardless of whether the economy moves up or down,

"What difference does it make?"

Buffett refers to the next generation of Americans as a “crop”. A commodity to be bought and sold at the whim of the elite. I couldn’t care less about his opinions.
