The Perfect Storm – Flooding, Fuel, Food and Fear
I realize that lately my blog has a tone of doom and gloom. It seems that a few days per week, I rant about food prices, inflation, gas prices, etc.
After the flooding that has taken place in the midwest, 33 million acres of corn could be wiped out. Corn prices are at record levels. Some sources list corn at over 70% higher than this time last year.. Top the natural disasters with the financial crisis that many Americans face, it seems that we are in the “perfect storm”.. Is this the EOTWAWKI (End of the World as we Know It)?
What can the average citizen do to protect their families?
1. Get out of debt.
2. Stock up on the necessities
3. Get informed
4. Let your politicians know that you are watching what they do! Get involved!
I hope that I’m over-reacting to this “bundle o’ news”… If I’m not.. at least I’ll be prepared!
