Here is a real scary one from Karl Denninger:
What's Dead? (Short Answer: All Of It)
"Civil unrest will break out before the end of the year. The Military and Guard will be called up to try to stop it. They won't be able to. Big cities are at risk of becoming a free-fire death zone. If you live in one, figure out how you can get out and live somewhere else if you detect signs that yours is starting to go "feral" - witness New Orleans after Katrina for how fast, and how bad, it can get."
"The bad news is that you won't have a job, pension, annuity, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and, quite possibly, your life."

Now if I were president, I'd damn sure find a position for Denninger!
Wow, this guy is not optimistic!
