Four-fifths of the economists said now is a good time to buy equities, especially if the investor has a long-term view.

The latter sounds similar to something Obama recently said, doesnt it?

They’re all just acknowledging the obvious: that stocks have lost so much value they can’t get much lower than they are now, so if you buy them now and hold onto them for 20 or 30 years, you might make a profit (assuming the companies in which you buy stocks don’t end up in bankruptcy).

Visit the econ dept of any university and if you find more than 1 token conservative professor on staff it’s a miracle.

That the Obama economic team scored as “well” as they did says something about these “expect” economists.

Back during the Carter administration and the Carter-induced Iranian hostage crisis, there was a political cartoon. It depicted great quotes from presidents with their likenesses:
Teddy Roosevelt: “Speak softly and carry a big stick”
FDR: “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself”
Jimmy Carter: “I’ll be in my room”

I think BHO is on his way to a similar depiction.

Some 43% said the U.S. will need another stimulus package on the order of nearly $500 billion. Others were skeptical of the need for stimulus at all.

So 57% disagreed with The One? Since I doubt the Networks were calling The Ayn Rand Institute, this might indicate that bankrupting the Nation is not a good idea.
