He's my favorite economist.

Many people do not know these government loans can stay with the students forever and not be discharged through bankruptcy.If you ask economists what is the biggest real threat they will say outstanding student loans.

Great points u guys make about forbearance etc BUT remember, none of the brightest economists saw 2008 coming even though everyone knew about stated income loans etc.

In fact I think economists make some of the worst investors.

Our strengths and weaknesses will be obvious to us when writing our plan...BUT is there a system you use for determining a markets opportunities and threats, like a pros and cons type list, or is it just learning to sense the way a market will react as an overall analysis of the ,armed itself...more like an economist would?

(and I'm guessing most economists would agree)The level of intelligence of the "average American" is disgraceful, and it's time that we raise the average (or at least the median)...My guess is that intelligent people tend to vote for intelligent people, so if we were able to raise the intelligence of the average American, my guess is that we would see the intelligence of the average elected official increase as well...

That includes PHD economists and everyone on BP (including myself).  

Economists estimate home building is some five years behind the demand.Now, there is a correction coming - this much is certain.

Listening to foreign leaders and economists suggest it is a long way from getting resolved.

Prior to the 1970's economists thought this was impossible.
