Economists & Weathermen

I am convinced that the only people who can get it wrong time and again and still get paid to give advice are economists and weathermen. Okay, add baseball players to that too (where else can you fail 7 out of 10 times and still be praised and paid millions for being a .300 hitter!). The news today is that economists once again got it wrong when it comes to the state of our economy. It appears that the "experts" are surprised that Americans are pulling back on their spending in light of employment uncertainty. Well, DUH!
