Who is your most trusted source of information and analysis on the economy?

None of them, you really have to get in the weeds to even begin to get the truth !|||Dean Baker, who correctly predicted the collapse of the Housing Bubble in 2004:





Co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research, Baker said today: "Just as he allowed a stock bubble to inflate to dangerous proportions in the late nineties, Alan Greenspan has allowed, and arguably promoted, the development of a housing bubble in the last four years. For the first time in the post-war period, home prices have substantially outpaced the overall rate of inflation, creating nearly $4 trillion in bubble wealth. While the collapse of this bubble will almost certainly lead to a recession, the problem is only made worse by delaying the inevitable. Mr. Greenspan should have the courage to follow the example of Mervyn King, the head of the Central Bank of England, and make a clear and unambiguous warning about the dangers of a housing bubble." 6/30/2004

The Fed chairman Ben Bernanke could have acted to burst America's housing bubble 鈥?and yet he did nothing





by Dean Baker


As the senate debates Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke's reappointment, it is striking how the media views blaming Bernanke for the Great Recession as being out of bounds. Of course Bernanke bears much of the blame for America's economic collapse.





He was either in, or next to, the driver's seat for the last seven years. Bernanke was a member of the board of governors of the Federal Reserve since the summer of 2002. He served a six-month stint as head of President Bush's council of economic advisors beginning in the summer of 2005 and then went back to chair the Fed in January of 2006.|||I'm all over the map with no clear direction: WSJ, IBD, NY Times, Washington Post, CNN Money, CNBC, Economist, Bloomberg, etc...
