The US will be 3rd world in 2020.

[The Anti-Neo Con]

After the economic collapse, 99% of us will be living in caves, under crumbling bridges, etc. and foraging for whatever food we can find. The rich will still live in thier mansions while hoarding any food produced. They will be protected by paid mercenaries. It will be so bad that Mexicans will simply quit crossing the border realizing they are better off in thier homeland.

I'm convinced that's what it will take.

So, I'm not upset about the prospect.

5. We already are a third world country

By definition.
We already export a majority of our raw natural resources and import the finished materials. We export recycled newspaper to China so that they can sell us goods in cardboard boxes.

11. Remember the Republicans seek the "Ten Dollar Hooker Solution"

They want Americans desperate, afraid and poor. They would like nothing more than competition for jobs to be so fierce, that laborers constantly underbid each other for work. In essence, they want every woman to be a ten-dollar hooker.
