Well, we just started 2011, what are some of your predictions for the year? It will be funny at the end of the year to come back and take a look a them. I've peered into my crystal ball, and here's what I see.
Kim Jong nutcase will die, and his son will be assassinated prior to taking over. NK will be a puppet run by a Chinese supported government.
I think this is going to be the year of stagnation. Not a lot of moving forward, political gridlock and squabbling, a job market that won't improve much at all. One SCOTUS member will pass away and after a nasty fight with the senate, Obama will end up putting a decidedly more moderate justice on the court.
Several smaller cities will go bankrupt, and the federal government will bail out a major city to avoid massive problems (Chicago? NY?). Maybe even a state (CA? IL?).
I also think this is the year inflation is going to start picking up and the interest rates on the national debt will go up, causing an even bigger budget shortfall by the end of the year. Hopefully I'm wrong on that one.
In sports, I'm picking the celtics to win it all in the NBA, the Steelers to win the superbowl, with LSU and Oklahoma in the 2011 season college football title game. OSU will win the college basketball crown in March.
Gas prices will climb up, slowly at first, but I suspect we'll be at $4.50 per gallon at the end of the year.
The Chinese economy is going to start showing cracks, as years of rapid growth without matching infrastructure (energy, roads, pollution control) start taking their toll. There will be big internal strife as the government struggles to keep control.
All that is just fluff, the important news is that Lindsay Lohan will end up in jail again, and that justin bieber will finally come out of the closet
