I thought he was one professor who didn't fall into those who can can and those who can't teach. The words were NOT too strong. Like Bernanke the guy never saw it coming, doesn't see it now. These people ARE the problem, we'd be better off without their a$$enine help/fixes. I lost a LOT of respect for Shiller!

Basically, he was a sub-prime borrower. As Treasury Secretary, he makes $191K, and has to maintain a home in D.C. How is he carrying two residences on half the salary?

This is a window into the man's cognitive processes, and it scares the living daylights out of me.
