  This is a fine time to be on the right side of the ELP (Economize, Localize, Produce) line. If you make something or do something for someone who does you should be fine. The vast majority of our economy in the United States is not fine.

Don't look too closely at the numbers below - I hate the layout and I find some of the percentage swings to be a little sketchy, but even here in corn country we've got close to 60% of the population in the service sector.
