...most important warning sign that the economy is sliding again is when the media seeks out the pessimists among the bureau for famous analysts and financiers. Wilbur Ross and George Soros are getting too much air time. They rarely have good things to say about the future. They may be making bets in the market that key economic measurements will deteriorate so their motives are suspect. But, they are probably right anyway.

They'll be the ones wearing enormous smiles - and not just because the Obama Administration has put out an inclusive welcome sign for the annual romp on the South Lawn.
