Believe nothing until the big numbers reflect it: GDP, employment, inflation. And know ye that the recession is inevitable -- it's just that the housing bubble popped two years ago according to some of these same guys. When the recession happens they will say they were right.

Sure, if they say it's going to rain tomorrow, every day, they'll be right eventually.

I heard that unemployment was up in July.

Watch - the recession will hit in April, 2009, just in time to blame the new Democratic president.
