Doom and Gloom

Here is a great story to fill this rainy, cold, and miserable Monday moring with promise...

Washington is patting itself on the back for having orchestrated an amazing economic recovery. But Washington lawmakers are a delusional bunch of boneheads, say Marc Faber and Mike "Mish" Shedlock, editor of the Gloom, Boom, and Doom Report and investment advisor at SitkaPacific Capital Management, respectively.

The economy is NOT recovering, they say, and the U.S. faces a depressing "eventuality" of either crushing deflation (Shedlock) or runaway inflation (Faber). The timing and type of this eventuality is uncertain, say the gurus, but they are certain it's too late for America to change course.

"It's beyond repair -- it's too late," to avert fiscal disaster, Faber declares.

"The day of reckoning has arrived. The question is how long it takes to play out."

This grim outlook doesn't mean you're helpless. Faber recommends individuals prepare for doomsday by buying gold, owning assets abroad and buying property outside of major cities.

Hold on, now. Are you trying to tell me that the politicians in Washington are lying to us? I find that hard to believe. If Obama says things are better, then they must be better.

as much as I'd love to criticize Washington, these guys are just monday morning quarterbacks. lets look at the returns for the clients they advised over the last few years and see how the fared?
