I’m not sure I can think of a worse scenario than what we have right now. Evidently you can.

Tell me what nightmare you can see that is worse than what has happened to our nation over the last twenty years.

Take a good look at our employment situation. We have 22+ million people that can’t find work, and millions more making far less than they did five years ago. And benefits? What benefits?

Tens of millions of our citizens have lost their homes. Those that did retain them are under water. We are actually bulldozing neighborhoods.

And now, with Obamacare coming on board, the next few years are guaranteed to make matters even worse.

Worse than the disease? ROTFLMAO

How much of those employment losses are due to technology and robotics?

We grow a lot more food today than a hundred years ago, with a fraction of the agricultural workforce that was in place back then.

And, we have 22 million who can’t find work, at the same time we have somewhere between 10 and 20 million illegal aliens in this country, many of who have jobs which theoretically the 22 million out of work could be doing.

America may yet devolve into a 3rd world country. A lot of things hang in the balance.
