"I am a huge bull on this country. We will not have a double-dip recession at all. I see our businesses coming back almost across the board"
About this Quote
The subtext is classic Buffett: the country is bigger than its quarterly panic. “This country” is deliberately broad, almost patriotic, but it’s also a diversified portfolio in disguise. By shifting from macro fear (“double-dip recession”) to operational reality (“businesses coming back”), he nudges listeners away from headline volatility toward the everyday machinery of demand, hiring, and balance sheets. “Almost across the board” is the tell - a small hedge that signals seriousness while still sounding sweeping.
Context matters: coming out of the 2008-09 shock, the debate wasn’t only about GDP; it was about legitimacy - whether American capitalism had broken itself. Buffett’s intent is to re-anchor the story: recessions are cycles, not verdicts. And because he speaks as a businessman, not a politician, the message lands as a kind of secular reassurance: the adults who actually allocate capital are back to doing it.
