Taunting, Titillating, Telltale Economic Signs of 2012

With everything that has transpired in 2011 do we really need an all knowing source to inform us to what we are economically in for during 2012? Perhaps no crystal ball is needed but a psychic or clairvoyant could give us the needed reassurance that everyone always searches for after that infamous ball drops elucidating the New Year has begun.

After doing a little investigating it is more than sufficient to say that psychics and clairvoyants are predicting a very interesting twelve months ahead of us. One good shot in the arm is that the Dow is supposed to ring out 2012 with a 10 percent increase of an estimated 13,438.

Another boost is that we will see unemployment plummet radically. We sincerely hope so.

For those first-time buyers psychics are predicting the turnaround in the housing market. Everything will become stable especially for newly constructed homes.

Unfortunately it is being said that from now until sometime during the halfway point of the new decade our global growth will plummet roughly 3 percent each year. This will create a domino effect on our capita output that ascertains the rise of our living standards.

And yet on the opposite side of the coin some believe the economy recovers just enough to give everyone positive feelings. We are told this makes Republicans nervous as it is likely happen previous to the November elections. While our government tries to come to terms with the new-found economic circumstances, we the people will begin to revolt against cutbacks (yeah the people!) Oh and, by the way, Obama will be president again.

It should be of no surprise a lot of predictions surround the United States dollar and its loss of importance in South America. They say by January 2013 SA will bring in its own currency. Again this will have a resound effect as apparently because of it they are saying food and fuel prices will raise sky high. Most believe they are through the roof now and are planning to change their flower beds in to vegetable beds.

In the way of currency, if the U.S. dollar does collapse psychics are predicting the coming of “state reserve banks” with a currency exchange rate between the states. Like here are 3.50 Boston bucks for your 3.10 South Carolina bucks. Perhaps we should go back to trading. I give you a dozen eggs if you give me an ounce of ham.

One of the most amusing predictions that came to light for 2012 was that larger corporations are supposed to suffer at the hand of the IRS and then further into the year the IRS themselves will be obligated to restructure their inner workings. Wouldn’t it be grand to have a nicer, kinder, more understanding Internal Revenue Service?

The well known graffiti artist/political activist Banksy of London humorously wrote on a blank wall in the vicinity of London’s Canary Wharf that he was sorry but the style of life people were searching for was “currently out of stock.” Got to love that.

Economically aside, we would be remissive if we did not touch upon the Mayans. No medium reading your palm or any psychic giving a tarot reading should feel the need to assure us that is it highly doubtful that the world will end on December 21, 2012. And if they are accurate…ouch, deepest apologies.
