This is of course my opinion and not based off any professorial degree of economics knowledge or anything, but isn't there a saying that economists have predicted twelve of the last seven recessions, or something like that? (I know those aren't the proper numbers).
It's as reasonable position as any.

As for economists...Greenspan is an economist who got us where we are today. Bernanke is an economist. He doesn't seem to have done much good. So maybe it's good you aren't an economist!
