What Holds for the Next Year

As we move forward into 2011 we must ask what does 2011 hold for us? Let's look at some serious issues.

1) Jobs - Until someone figures out that reducing taxes is a good thing and stop burdening the producers of the economy then there will be little in the way of job growth. Our government is really great and spending our money. And they are spending a lot of it. This translates into an increased need for money and a more oppressive government. I don't see this improving until the government makes a real attempt at reducing spending.
2) Economy - This goes hand-in-hand with jobs. The overall US Economy does not look very good right now and I believe it is teetering on the brink of currency collapse/hyperinflation. Call me a pessimist but until a group of politicians get in Congress and rein in the spending it will only get worse. China will not continue to fund our deficit spending forever. Europe cannot do it. South America is still emerging and Japan has its own problems to contend with.
3) Social - Political Correctness has reached new levels in our society and continues to demand that certain behaviors be accepted by society in general. This arrogance among the ruling class has caused quite a bit of anger among the common folk and if thing don't change quickly look for a lot of discord. From stupid things like Happy Meal toys at McDonald's in San Francisco to the NFL with its pink cleats this whole notion that corporate America and Americans in general must accept certain ideas is just plain arrogance. Things will continue to get worse because people have now gained a foothold in Congress and the courts. It is almost to the point that if you don't agree then plan on being investigated, ridiculed, chastised, or being called a racist.
4) Technology - Look for this part of our society to continue to emerge and evolve because it is almost devoid of political control. People can still have great ideas around the globe and take a chance on its success or failure. But, even with that it still contributes to the advancement of technology and it does not seem to be slowing down.
