Thoughtful posts always, Katz, I appreciate it. And the chickens are rocking, by the way!
As for oil prices, I can't tell, and I'm not sure anyone can. When oil reserves in the OPEC nations remain "state secrets," it's pretty hard to guess. What is clear is that we owe oil producing countries a lot of money, they're very tired of us devaluing our currency to skate out on it, and are going to get their money out of us in one way or another.
The FDIC will soon be bust. Take a look at WAMU this morning, if you haven't. There's the next sick puppy. I certainly noticed IndMac. Nice Saturday stunt. It's getting very near time to stick some cash in a coffee can some where.
It's very important, so far as I can see, to move to a lifestyle of "implicit" income rather than earned income. You don't want to do your business in dollars, or currency in general, because you'll be taxed to the hilt.
We can insure that in the next decade:
1) Wages static to negative against living costs.
2) Taxes will rise.
