We've been hearing for at least 2 years now that the economy is weakening.

I guess if the "experts" predict it each month, eventually the idiots will be right.

As it is, they've been wrong for at least two years now. It's a clown show.

Don't forget the "housing bubble is about to burst" mantra.

I guess it never occurs to these folks in the MSM that growth in the U.S. stock market is not achieved "despite a weakening economy" . . . it's achieved because investors don't buy into the nonsense that the economy is weakening.

. . . Wall Street managed to hold on to gains despite concerns about the strength of the economy.

This is sort of like saying that the Pittsburgh Steelers won the Super Bowl last year despite concerns that there were at least a dozen teams in the NFL better than them.

Or like saying that it was 75 degrees in New York yesterday despite concerns that it really should have been 62.
