Don't overestimate either one of them. Buffet has long had the reputation as an intellectual whacko. Welch is just another obsolete "New Industrial State" 60's "indictive planning", glad-handing empty suit-the type George Gilder crucified in "Wealth and Poverty". As Willi Brandt, the late West German SD once said, "The problem with socialism is socialism. The problem with capitalism is capitalists."...

they are ACTUALLY GLOBALISTS hehe. It is not even the wave of the future. It is already the past. I have made a pure bundle being a globalist. Just yesterday alone brought along a windfall. And today has already been quite a winner. You have also probably made quite a chunk of cash being likewise a globalist. Indeed, if you are on these forums, you probably are quite wealthy and it all comes from being a globalist. Even the guy on the street, wearing his cheap five-year-old parka is a globalist. The time of nationalism is over. Vast numbers of people all across the world have their minds now trained upon the same resources we have exploited for decades. And they are continuing to accumulate wealth so that they can afford to bring their own resources to market. They are willing to work harder and for fewer dollars than we are. No one in his right mind can ignore this. Globalism is just the way of the world. Companies will soon be exporting jobs with impunity and there will be few protests against it. The next wave of change will likely include something like "ex-sourcing," where nimble blond-blues lose traditional ties to home and hearth and move to where the jobs are - even if those jobs are in inexpensive places wherein a westerner can live like a king. I don't fault globalists for being globalists. They are just following opportunity. If we erect arbitrary barriers to their free movement, we will only hurt ourselves.
