Unfortunately, I see a fairly gloomy immediate future for the US as follows:

1. In spite of a roaring economy, the national debt is growing. Cheap imports are killing US businesses. We are now in the biggest credit expansion in history. Government spending is out of control, prices and taxes continue to increase. Soon, the US will have to pay the piper with banks, investor’s and depositor’s taking a huge hit.

2. The US is splintered with self-serving groups supporting their own agenda. The races are more divided than ever before. Anarchists are already disrupting the country such as in Seattle. Militia groups are armed to the teeth and are ready to do battle when they see the time is right for them.

3. Morality is at an all time low with the president leading the country in lies, adultery and supporting other nefarious sexual preferences. Society and the government has made a joke out of the “family unit.” What once was considered wrong is now considered acceptable. Even our children are killing each other and not even caring.

4. The UN is impotent with nations breaking apart and ignoring Security Council rulings. The US has no real friends in the UN, with the exception of Britain. China, Russia, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, the Arab states, the African states, Afghanistan and others who
the US feeds dollars and technology to will become the US’s greatest threat and possible enemies in a full scale war. The US will fight for it’s very existence.

China wants Japan and Taiwan, Russia wants to become a superpower again, both being built on US dollars and technology. Right now the China/Taiwan issue is a possible catalyst for confrontation with China and the US.

5. Invasion of privacy by the government with a micro chip is still being pushed by the Clinton administration. Soon your life history will be known to the government, credit, medical, work, what you eat, watch, where you shop and even parking tickets (already available nationwide to all police)all in the name of public safety. Big Brother is already here, he is just getting stronger.

6. The only areas of advancement I can see is possibly in major cures of terrible diseases.


The US of the 50’s no longer exists when it was a nation of relative personal safety, respect of person’s and property. The US was a unified nation then and the family unit was that which made it strong. I wish I could go back.
