I haven't read the underlying reports, but the organizations that produced them (i.e., the CBO) are supposed to be non-partisan and objective, and that is mostly the impression that I have had in the past after reading other CBO reports. Martin Weiss is an excellent salesman and over the years he has sensationalized certain aspects of finance, investing, and the economy in order to sell himself and subscriptions to financial newsletters and other financial products. I certainly wouldn't call him a liar or dishonest; rather he is all doom and gloom and puts a negative spin on even the most beneign statistics and events to support his dire predictions of imminent collapse of some aspect of the economy. He has been doing this since at least the late 1980's and the general theme of his opinions are as consistent and predictable as the phases of the moon.
Thanks for explaining this to me.
