I will make another prediction as well. Because of the cost of food and lower incomes, you will see a demise in boutique groceries and organic farming.

The world's supply of rich people isn't diminishing and once the current economic worries dissipate they'll want to display their wealth, as well as indulge their fond beliefs, by buying $20/pound turkey and $4/pound tomatoes.
As far as the subject of this post, the left has always used the worst aspects of human nature to achieve their political aims. In this case they're faced with the inevitable result of crying "wolf" a few million times too many.
And since it's an ill wind that blows no good, it looks like the state of the economy has put T. Boone Pickes massive fleecing of the taxpayer, in the form of his giant, Texas windfarm, on hold for the foreseeable future.
