I have read many well researched positions and summaries. All economists are wrong in their predictions, 50% are too high and 50% are too low. If we can agree that the loan defaults are big numbers and a big mess, and disagree on how much of a mess, we can a least start to address the issues. I appreciate Dark Spaces insights and commentsT Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02053860188636623122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7693451999817479352.post-15833589739250006412009-10-04T10:17:06.123-04:002009-10-04T10:17:06.123-04:00After a day of reflection, they finally allowed my...After a day of reflection, they finally allowed my comment. <br /><br />The more I stalked, er, researched, the author and the speaker, I formed a loose conclusion that the blame fr this shoddy journalism lies with the speaker more so than the author.

However, the vast majority of the numbers quoted are just flat wrong, many of the particulars are incorrect, and at points the numbers/comments contradict other parts of the interview. I hesitated to reply at all, but egregious errors should be called out when the uninformed may read this and take it all at face value.
