Nobody Knows Anything

That's the way I often feel when I read articles (and especially when I listen to TV or radio) about what's going on in the economy today.
This article is a great example of what I'm talking about. How bad is it going to get? Who knows? But my real point is, "How bad is it? Who knows?" Kinda scary, to be sure, but it makes me very suspicious of anyone who speaks very definitively about what to do. (I'm not saying we should do nothing, but I am saying we should be very skeptical about anyone who speaks with great confidence about what must be done.)
