History rhymes as they say - Stock market continues to tank, 1000 banks fail, Real estate continues to fall, dollar gets whacked in half, peoples taxes go through the roof, unemployment U6 number hit’s 25%, every pension fund and state is in default,,,,,

In other words we will return to the Dark Ages as a highly technical society collapses in on if self ---it will be mob rule

I think you are painting a darker picture than I intended.

I think it will be hard in the next 5 years - improving in 5-10 years

The socialists will be out - Necessity is the mother of all invention if a system is unsustainable it will be replaced with one that actually works. I am an optimist, I believe that there are enough good people left in the USA to guide things in the right direction. Global Warming and other liberal cocktail happy talk will disappear because individual/family basic needs will take priority over popular political manipulations.

Yup - we're about to collapse back to the Dark Ages of the 1990's. Think Windows 95 and the Mac before OSX. Oh - and home internet via 14.4K modems.
