Doug Casey is a no-nonsense financial author and investor who runs the Casey Research website. The following quote from a recent interview shows that Doug's views on the much hyped Economic recovery in the US are very different from the mainstream media shills. I think the interview is very informative and Mr. Casey's conclusions are very logical as opposed to the pablum doled out day after day on MSNBC, Bloomberg etc.
Quote: "By that I mean that people are on average consuming more than they produce. That can only be done by living out of capital – consuming savings – or accumulating debt. For a time, this may drive corporate earnings up, and give this dead-man-walking economy the appearance of returning health, but it's essentially, necessarily, and absolutely unsustainable. This is an illusion of recovery we're seeing – the result of our Wrong-Way Corrigan politicians continuing to encourage people to do the exact opposite of what they should do."

In an interview with Louis James, the inimitable Doug Casey throws cold water on those celebrating the economic recovery.
[Skype rings: It's Doug Casey, calling from Cafayate, Argentina. He sounds tired, but pleased with himself.]
Doug: Lobo, get out your mower; it's time to cut down some green shoots again, and debunk a bit of the so-called recovery.
