"Too Close To Call": O v R
The historical corelations favor Obama. The recent, 1st Debate bounce by Romney would require [in my opinion] Romney to win the upcoming remaining 2 Debates to matter.
I am switching my jeffolie prediction to "Too Close To Call" because Obama may yet handle whatever Oct Surprise that MIGHT happen very well thus regaining confidence and support from the voters.
I continue my 2012 Jan 1st predictions except for the Presidential race:
=======================================
Make your predictions for 2012.
Here are mine:
jeffolie predicts...Throw the bastards out of office gained ground against Establishment politicians in 2010, 2011 and will gain ground in 2012 .
jeffolie predicts...This repeats my old assertions made prior to Obama winning the 2008 primaries that Obama and the Democrats will lose enough power to fail after the 2010 elections to get anything done, continued political and economic gridlock.
jeffolie predicts...2010 food crisis that I made in 2008 will continues in 2012 for selective commodities such as grains with special attention to the seasonal trends for midyear tops from continuing weather issues.
jeffolie predicts...stock market gains to mid year which is the traditional seasonal high hence the long standing cliche of 'sell in May and go away' with Ben of the Fed providing stimulus.
jeffolie predicts...housing prices will continue going down because trends to rent continue.
jeffolie predicts…SCREWFLATION: everything the ‘average American family’ buys goes up in price and everything they own goes down in value. Taxes, fees, charges, special assessment districts from State, Local, etc governments will rise while services from them will decrease. Energy expenses for homes, cars, electricity will rise compounded by additional taxes and fees. Food prices will rise. Health care/insurance expenses will rise; College Tuition will rise; Mortgage/house payments will rise because interest rates will rise seasonally; Rents will rise. The ‘average American family’ wealth will decline. The ‘average American family’ wealth will decline for those still owning their homes because house prices will continue to decline. Food Stamp use will make new records. I prefer screwflation over stagflation because of the regressive impact on middle and lower class families' standard of living and that they have no investments that rise with inflation or money printing and in fact usually have their wealth tied up in declining or negative home equity while the upper 20% of earners usually have investments that will rise in 2012 outside of their home equity.
jeffolie predicts… EUROPEAN CRISIS: the financial crisis will increase ‘austerity’ as retirement ages extend, services are privatized from higher paying government salaries to lower paying private jobs, benefits reduced. Bailouts of European banks will shift low valued debt from the banks to the IMF, FED, ECB, China via ‘swaps’, bond sales, loans, etc. Average European families will have their version of screwflation because their incomes will decline and expenses increase from governments privatizing.
jeffolie predicts…US STATES, CITIES, LOCAL AGENCIES CRISIS: major layoffs by the end of 2012, bills will not be paid, some bonds will default.
jeffolie predicts…INTEREST RATES: higher through summer.
