Two Differing Views of the Economy

Today's show is a look at the current economy from the view point of both Wall Street and Washington. I don't ever remember when these two institutions, the financial capital and the political capital, were so far apart. The one is worried that the economy may fall into a double dip recession, while the politicians are sky high working on the latest new reform. Specifically, we'll talk about the Cap and Trade (Waxman Markey) Bill before Congress up today for a vote.

Also we'll talk about the attitude of Warren Buffett, and how his approach helps him navigate bear markets like we're facing today.
