Big Suprise: Freepers say Warren Buffett is wrong about falling Dollar

[Up2Late]

When I did a Google search for "Warren Buffett" comments today at Google, I got a few links to "freerepublic", so I said, O.K., let's see what the Pod People are saying about quickly appoching "Economic Armageddon," as some one at Morgan-Stanley recently called it.

As expected, they are in full denial mode. :evilgrin:Good for a laugh, for all who want it at:

I almost feel sorry for them, they won't know what hit'em when the * party suddenly ends. I just hope they don't have as many guns as they claim to have. :scared:

1. Warren Buffet is a "left-wing socialist" ??????? LOL!

That concentration camp is going to have some fancy clientele

[blondeatlast]

11. If Buffett is a socialist, wghat does that make US?

I shudder to think. :scared:

[Up2Late]

17. I guess that makes us a bunch of "Godless Commies"

Oh, and what does "wghat" stand for?

[sendero]

2. Yeah...

... over the years, Buffett has been wrong time and time again on investment matters.

Napoleon Dynamite says "IDIOTS" :)

3. Some of them admitted Buffett knows what he's talking about

That wasn't actually that bad of a response given some of the other garbage of FR.

Where they went astray is in saying Buffet was wrong about predicting bad economic times 3 or 4 years ago. At the time Buffet thought that, he didn't know Greenspan would save Bush's butt by flooding the country with cheap money. He also didn't know that Bush would be able to get those stupid tax cuts that provided a huge stimulus to the economy (but created our current huge national debt).

4. I think most don't realize

how much "economic stimulus" is still propping up our economy.:evilgrin:

[htuttle]

8. Those tax cuts did not stimulate the economy one whit

The only thing they stimulated was the stock market. That's why we had a jobloss recovery that wasn't a recovery at all.

13. Jobless or underemployed

Who's going to buy the corporations cheap crap if no one has any money?

5. If these clowns think income tax eats into their $$$...

Just wait till they get a load of what happens when the Dollar falls.

I'm just saying.

You get *NOTHING* in return...

No defense...
No schools...
No roads...
No national parks...

Well, you do get one thing... Sum furenur byein up yur howze
an throw'n U owt on yer behind.

Oh, yes... and starvation.

6. Kick...

Ouch.

7. Warren leans left but socialist? Ha Ha that's funny

[PA Democrat]

9. Didn't Arnold Schwarzenegger use Warren Buffet as his

senior financial and economic adviser when he was running for governor? What did they have to say about Warren back then?

[Up2Late]

12. Warren, You're Terminated

:kick:

22. Der Ahnold's put Warren away after Buffett let it be known that corps

aren't paying their fair share of taxes, especially the globalizing corporations (see "Warren Buffett Urges Higher Corporate Taxes "
http://www.commondreams.org/headlines04/0306-01.htm )

Also, it is common knowledge here in CA that Prop 13 gives a tax break to corporations on property taxes that is made up for by the general public. Corps hardly ever sell their property whereas the general public tends to sell every 7 years on average. Buffett wanted some reforms on Prop 13 or at least a discussion of it but was quickly silenced.

Ahnolds is a globalization supporter so he wishes to give more tax breaks to those shipping jobs overseas. Nothing personal, just that he's a wolf in sheep's clothing...the environmental/abortion 'moderation' is just there to sucker us all in. His meeting with KennyBoy Lay should have indicated who's side he's on before the recall even took place !

[Nordmadr]

15. Just reading through those posts

made me feel ill. This country is soooooooo f**ked!

[sueh]

16. One of the freepers said

that Bush is a genious, and that "they never expected him to tell the truth".

Does this mean there are people on the freeper board who actually know that Bush lies?

[Up2Late]

19. I think it means

That the freeper :dunce: never expected * to tell him what he wanted to hear

[Vinnie From Indy]

18. LOL !!!! I Vote We Listen to Warren Buffet!

The thought Freepers lecturing Buffet about anything other than how to score with your own relatives is very funny!

[Jacobin]

20. He's already made billions by shorting the dollar

for the last few years.

Remind me not to get a freeper as a money manager

[AntiCoup2K4]
