My opinion sitting here in the heartland pond is that the rich are likely to continue to get richer while most of us struggle harder to make ends meet.

Well, okay some ends will meet regarless of the economy. In fact, if we're spending more time at home near the bedroom, the meetings could occur with increased frequency.

And, if that's the case, we should see some things increase in approximately nine months. OMG. A whole new generation of Pixies.

Well with a whole new generation of Pixies on the way, that means that food supplies will have to increase. So farming should boom. And, of course, diapers, while generally dealing with the bottom part of society, will likely see an economic upturn. At least if all the little boys are as horny as their dads which got us, in part, to this place.

I also suspect Kleenex, in a decline since the demise of the rescue ranger, will also see a resurgence as we try to get things cleaned up.

Of course, if Kleenex and diaper demand goes up, that means the whole waste disposal industry is in for a major boom, triggering the demand for new trucks and rubbermaid waste cans.

This in turn promises new Walmart business as we all shop for new waste cans. And, of course, as we shop for waste cans we'll probably find something else we want to buy.

Hmmmm.

Bottom line is that I think Bill Gales future is safe. And, before you know it, there'll be a new election and a whole set of new promises.

Does that make you feel better?
