Are these the very same "economists" that six months ago didn't see this coming?

Are these the very same "economists" that twelve months ago were telling all who would listen how wonderful the economic news was?

Peee on these - and all - economists! (and just for fun, peeee on pee-low-see too!)

You know the reason they didn’t see it was coming is because something happened that started this house of cards to tumble in just a few months before an election

no one saw this coming because it wasn’t.

I WISH That were true... but, no. Nouriel Roubini is the guy, who TWO YEARS AGO, said we were doomed... He's been predicting this collapse since at least 2007.

No, those economists were people like me who lived in cities hit hard by the Great Mortage Boom. We didn't submit papers to journals or attend conferences in quaint European towns. No, we just said stuff like, "This s**t is gonna roll over and blow itself real quick."

My neighbor has finally given up the belief that the turn-around would be complete by the end of 2009.

He's hoarding food now.
