3. Going to be pretty funny when the dollar tanks
and they are suddenly middle class again. That will be my one comfort.

4. the dollar has tanked 20% since March of this year.
Unfortunately, by the time even the millionaires feel the pain, you and I will be eating dogfood.

5. Na, I'm a squirrel.
It'll be grim, but I'll probably do better than they will. If you can spare it, each time you go to the grocery store, grab a 4$, 10lb bag of flour, or some yeast, or a 10lb bag of sugar or rice. Basic staples. You'll miss those when they're gone from the shelves.

I sure hope it doesn't get that bad, but man, it doesn't look good. A little doom and gloom over the christmas sales season, and the market will shed it's gains in a few days. I can't imagine this is going to be anything but a crazy, painful, bumpy ride.
