But does not mean that I’m not disappointed that USA Today declared Lawrence Yun, the chief economist at the National Association of Realtors as one of the top economic forecasters in the US.

Ummm….Covering your ears and saying, “there is no housing crash” does not make one a “top economic forecaster”. He is a paid shill of the realtors, and as such he only reflects reality to the degree that he doesn’t reveal himself as a complete and total pratt.

His record is worse than mine, though it might be better than his predecessor at paid shill for the NAR, David Lereah.

USA Today‘s Barbara Hagenbaugh and Barbara Hansen, and possibly their entire business journalism department, are my wankers of the day.
