In any age you choose to pick you can string lots of news stories about genuine problems and extrapolate them into looming catastrophe. In reality, this country has enough arable farmland in Iowa alone to make us all grossly obese. Prices for grain ARE way up and thank God for it.

The devalued dollar will go a long way towards slowing the loss of American manufacturing jobs. It makes foreign products costs more (when sold to us in dollars) and it costs foreign makers more to ship it here. We have plenty of raw resources (except oil) to be able to produce what we need at home. Now that the falling dollar and expensive oil make it possible to do it profitably again, the job situation should stabilize.
Do I get to call myself a prophet now too?
