CBS’s Rebecca Jarvis had a brief profile on billionaire Warren Buffett this morning.

“Because you were a man,” said Jarvis.

“And I was white,” added Buffett.  “So, if I’d been black, my future would’ve been entirely different.  If I’d been a female, my life would’ve been entirely different.”

“What about our debt?” asked Jarvis.  “$ 16.4 trillion.”

“It’s a lower percentage of GDP than it was when we came out of World War II,” said Buffett. “You’ve gotta think of it in relation to GDP.  It is not a good thing to have it going up in relation to GDP.  That should be stabilized. But the debt itself is not a problem.”

The took a drive to his regular McDonald’s, his old elementary school, and his current home.
