Originally aired in December of 2007 this classic Bull-Bear debate on the "Goldilocks Economy" sees the Bear, Dr. Nouriel Roubini, coming out decidedly on top.

Roubini accurately pointed out that real consumption had be weak, residential investment had been collapsing and the current liquidity crisis presented the worst

financial crisis in years.

Wesbury amazingly put aside housing and rattled off a bunch of anecdotes about getting parking and a seat at a restaurant and then suggested that there was no

evidence that this economy is slowing down.

Sunshine and Good Weather?!?! Write Ups instead of Write Downs!!??

I can hardly believe that a professional economist and forecaster could be so absurdly foolish... WHEN will CNBC and the rest of the traditional media recognize

that Brian Wesbury has absolutely no credibility?

  • That Wesbury accuses Roubini to be politicized, at the end of the video, just reveals that he is it himself (though for the opposite position). He sees economic debate as a battle against pro and anti-intervention for the sake of those positions and arguments coming secondary to defend those.

  • ''I think all of this is all about getting the government more involved in the economy''

    That Wesbury accuses Roubini to be politicized just reveals that he is it himself (though for the opposett position). He see economic debate as a battle against pro and anti-intervention for the sake of those positions and arguments coming secondary to defend those. Unfortunately this entire academic field is overpopulated by people like him.

  • I enjoy watching these clips after the actual event. Backing out Housing Earning, profit is up!!! it's like saying, backing out all my debt... I'm rich! come on. Fire this Brian Wesbury

  • westbury is straight up a fucken moron
