My Predictions for 2011

Grocery costs are going to soar sky high.
Produce costs will hit the ceiling.
Gasoline will be around $5.00 per gallon.
There will be several weather related disasters around the world.
The housing market will see a glut of houses for sale on the market.
Unemployment will hit an all time high.
Twice as many manufacturing jobs will go overseas as are created in the US.
Sarah Palin will emerge as the front runner for President in the Republican Party.
Hillary Clinton will make her move to become the Democratic Candidate for President in 2012.
Many retailers will fall by the wayside, Walmart will grow.
Illinois will go in to bankruptcy, as will a number of small towns and municipalities.
There will be a financial crisis on Wall Street, more large corporations will fold.
Pryor will leave OSU and enter the NFL Draft. He will not be a high draft, but many teams need quarterbacks so he will  prosper financially. Toledo will emerge victorious over the Buckeyes.
There will be some new "conflicts" around the world that will affect the United States, we will, unfortunately have more troops involved that there were at the end of 2010.
I wish I could see some good ahead for us, but I can't, because:
Politics is running amok,  Politics is a dirty word. It represents greed, no ethics, self, and estate planning.
We spend too much time watching sports on TV, we spend all our time on our cell phones, in the store, in the car, at home, everywhere, we eat pathetically and we don't exercise. Obesity is in a crisis stage, many of us eat three meals a day at a "fast food" restaurant. We spend hours watching the food network, and then go eat at McDonalds. We eat trash food and watch trash on TV. We are confronted with commercials, on TV, in humongous quantities, and are sold and buy products that are of no  value to our lives, we are lured by the ads. We spend BILLIONS on "As Seen On Tv" products that don't perform and are worthless. Their only value is the BILLIONS of dollars that they make for a few people.
  Is our future grim, you bet it is.
