Your number one source for news about the coming economic depression

Analysts have described the U.S. economic recovery in many shapes and sizes, be it L-shaped, W-shaped, or even shaped like the Nike swoosh symbol.

But David Roche, global strategist at Independent Strategy, added a new wrinkle on CNBC Wednesday.

” You want to know my shape? My shape is a toilet shape,” Roche said on “Squawk Box Asia.” “Because I think that’s where 14 percent of (gross domestic product) in terms of spending and central bank help will disappear.”

A lot of the money spent by governments should not have been spent at all, Roche said.

Roche predicted there would be a short-term recovery, but afterwards demand would peter out because the problems that caused the credit crisis were not addressed.

“The problem about the recovery is that none of the problems that caused the credit crisis have been resolved,” he said. “Household leverage is worse than before, banking leverage is worse than before. The bad debts problem have not been dealt with and we have a new level of prophesy and leverage which is the government.”
