Quote from vertigo3:
OFF TOPIC, and I apologize, but I have to say it to someone.
OK, I'm a dope, but I have that senate banking committee meeting on the TV and between Paulson's stuttering and Bernanke's shakey voice and both of their inabilities to offer frank, declarative answers to the Q&A session; I have no confidence in anyone's assessment of the economy.
It's really kind of a joke, one of the senators just rattled off a laundry list of wall street houses and economists predictions for recession or economic slowing, and Paulson chastised the senator saying, "if that's the way you talk up the economy I'd hate to see you talk it down."
huh?
Heaven forbid that someone use statistics and facts in stead of cheer-leader pom poms.
unreal.
