People blame rising food prices on high oil costs, but a few years ago when oil shot up that didn't happen. Is the economy in worse shape than is being reported? Europe knew we were headed into recession last year but it wasn't reported in the domestic press (probably not to hurt xmas sales). Much like 'Internet Tough Guys', I constantly see 'Internet Smart Guys' who are happy to tell you that so-and-so information hardly needed to be reported because 'Any idiot knows' or 'If you pay attention you're already aware' of the information. Of course they always say this AFTER the info is reported. So come on- What does 'Everybody' know about what the economy is going to do this year, and it's impact on average Americans. Come on Smart Guys...
