This week was doom and gloom from several writers. Forbes' David Malpass had a good piece, "Need Game Changers, Not 'New Norm'", but it's not posted online yet. Here are a couple others:
"The Bernanke Market
We won't get real growth until Congress and Treasury get policy right." WSJ, Andy Kessler
"The Economy Is Even Worse Than You Think
The average length of unemployment is higher than it's been since government began tracking the data in 1948." WSJ, Mortimer Zuckerman
