PBS NewsHour

Not a blog but a "q-and-a" (pronounced "quanda"), this page is about the basics of economics. Its premise: there are no stupid q's. And if some a's seem dim, take heart: I can brighten them up in response to objections, corrections, refinements. Comments on posts feature yours, and my responses. Enough of you now frequent and query the quanda that I post most every day. Haven't seen your q yet? Send it again. All a's should be taken with a shaker of sodium chloride, if not a Lot's-wife's-worth. And speaking of salt, the mustache and "hair" in the photo has a lot less of that condiment, and rather more pepper, than can be seen on TV. Think of it as time travel.

Q&A: Ask Roubini and Taleb Your Questions on Stimulus Spending, U.S. Debt

Back in 2006, economist Nouriel Roubini and scholar Nassim Taleb shared some words of warning about the state of the financial and housing markets.

On Tuesday night's NewsHour, we speak with both of them again about their pessimistic views about the prospects for economic recovery.

They've agreed to take some of your questions about the European debt crisis, worries about a double-dip recession in the U.S., concerns of federal deficits and so on.

Submit your questions by 5 p.m. Wednesday. We'll post the answers later this week.
