Poor, beleagured economists! They feel they have to say hopeful things about the future of our economy because, not to do so, would fuel the angst and uncertainty which must be overcome. They, and we, resent the statements of Paul Krugman who is telling what he believes: that we will have several years of depression, at the minimum.Thank goodness The Doser is keeping a clear head in all this!
