It may not be happening soon or severely enough for his position to pay off, but...

But nothing.  

Buffet's goofy ideas don't make sense and they fooled his dupes into losing a billion dollars.  You're never going to convince me either that I should invest in Buffet's snake-oil or that my taxes need to go back up.

Let's cut a deal.  I say my graph was bad, and you stop pushing Buffet's goofy tax hike schemes.  I mean, you don't trust him with your money, why should I have to trust him with mine?

I'm not pushing his tax hike scheme.

And you're free to disagree with his notion that trade deficits will result in lower dollar values. But honestly, I wouldn't call it goofy. Its pretty much the conventional wisdom among economists. Maybe he's wrong... maybe they're all wrong (it certainly wouldn't be the first time), but it really not insane, and I really don't think it was political on his part either.

You don't get that rich betting on your emotions.
