Warren Buffett: 'America's never been greater'

"America's great now -- it's never been greater," Buffett said on Tuesday while speaking at Fortune's Most Powerful Women conference in Washington, D.C.

That's almost the exact opposite of Trump's slogan: "Make America Great Again!" The phrase is splashed all over the billionaire businessman's website as well as the red hat he wears on the campaign trail. Trump even recently received a trademark for the "Make America Great Again" phrase.

But Buffett, a persistent cheerleader for the U.S. economy, isn't buying into the assumption America isn't great right now.

"Our kids are going to live so much better than we do now," Buffett said.

Even though economists are growing concerned about U.S. and global growth, Buffett isn't freaking out. He pointed to signs the U.S. housing market -- a key cog in the overall economy -- is gaining steam. Buffett also cited strong sales at furniture stores as evidence of real estate strength.

Of course, it's easy for Buffett to be bullish on America. The 82-year-old's net worth is estimated by Forbes at a whopping $62 billion. Buffett certainly doesn't need to worry about stagnant wages and the loss of high-paying manufacturing jobs that weigh on many voters' minds.

But Buffett is concerned about rising inequality. He told CNN earlier this year the "American Dream is alive and well, but it isn't for a good many people."

I expect the Buffett worshipers to come out and defend his statement, but clearly this man is a blatant Obama cheerleader, and his statements would be laughable if there were not so buffoonish.

And his throw away line to 'inequality' is simply a call for more of the socialistic policies that have ruined us financially and culturally.

Money is his god, and he rejects the real God.

Thats like a 3 year old standing atop a mountain telling the world John Holmes has nothing on him.

[Secret Agent Man]

Buffet is a freak liar.

Now I know why I can’t stand buffets.

[Paladin2]

America doesn’t have enough pipelines, but does have too many BNSF unit oil trains....

It’s so nice that Warren has not been buffeted by reality, but then they say many Alzheimer’s patients live in the past with very little grasp of the present.

Whatever old man Buffett if you think its great under Obama you need to start treatment for dementia

[Glad2bnuts]

He must be referring to the Americas, from Sierra del Fuego, to the North Pole. After US citizens share their wealth with the turd world, we will all be equal.

for him maybe. Tell myself and my family.

[gaijin]

He has killed more kids than any other person in the history of the WORLD.

[skeeter]

Of course Wall St has made off handsomely under Obama. Like thieves.

What irony.

[BipolarBob]

He has killed more kids than any other person in the history of the WORLD.

He has personally done this?

[rktman]

Odd how it’s always “Those EVIL Koch brothers”. Warren? Apparently, not so much.

[SE Mom]

This is a deluded man. Wealthy, investment savvy, focused. And yet, deluded.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Buffy is full of ... To non-wealthy Americans, America has never been this screwed up. Go shine the medal your boy Barry gave to you and then count your money you old fool. Almost half of the American workforce can’t find a job and Buffy is out there telling the ladies that America has never be greater. What a retard.

[snuffy smiff]

No worship as as of yet and I think he’s a deluded scumbag with too much money!

[rlmorel]

"..."America's great now -- it's never been greater..."

[nclaurel]

This elitist liar and Soros need to just die and save the air for others.
