$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('onlooker', 'H')ow is that worse that so called Government "think tanks" spewing out Government canards? Question for Outcast.
Inherently, it's not.
Each claim (and each group, based on the body of their claims and their evidence) needs to be evaluated, based on what they produce.
In this example, given the track record of economic prognosticators forecasting short term market drops of about half, given the state of the US and global economy, I'm not impressed with validating this effort by calling it a "think tank".
...
And are the "canards" you speak of the ones who use evidence based on objective data to do things like measure inflation or GDP? Or are they forecasters who ignore much of the economic data on the ground to make some political point?
Because to me, there is a WORLD of difference between such groups.
Given the track record of the perma-doomer blogs, I wouldn't bet a fast crash doomer's money on their predictions.
