Unless an amazing resurgence takes place I give it between 15 and 20 years before we are a second world country.
20 to 30 years before we are a third world country.

Your mileage may vary.

“20 to 30 years before we are a third world country”

We are already there. When I see people going through my garbage fives times in one night looking for cans and bottles that is not a populace of a superpower. When you have 47 million people in a government soup line you are no longer a leading nation.
