What policies that we have now will be a positive or negative in 20 years?

I think the debt, entitlements and immigration will be a huge negative. Financially doomed, math does't add up. Give me more examples.

i mean we are fricked but its not that bad. I think what truly fricks us is medicare. That bill is going to get bigger and bigger until we implement death panels.
I also think gov'ts (relative) absence is primary research is going to hurt us economically. Primary research drives pratical applications, our dumping this on the private sector is going to result in less innovation.

ACA is a dead mule on the cart.

Well, I think there's enough good in it that public approval will start going up. When that happens, Republicans will stop the "repeal Obamacare" BS and actually sit down and work on ways to improve some of the bad in it. Ultimately, it will be a big positive to have more people in this country with health insurance.

It's going to get worse. Hell, rates in our state for the 16,000 who opted for the exchange are going up by 40%. It will not be the only State either. On average, rates will rise next year by 7.5%. LINK
It set out to insure the uninsured so someone will definitely end up paying for it. My guess is this thing as we know it will be dead in 6 years.

The ACA, almost by design, will implode the healthcare system resulting in a lower standard of care.
Things that are positives:
- Oddly enough, I think Ws war in Iraq will be a positive in that is has made Americans more reluctant to engage in war;
- I think the recognition by Obama that the US needs to be able to produce its own oil will bode well for the future - he gets bashed about Keystone and the like but has actually opened up, or at least not overtly precluded, other explorations that will be vital in the future (like the Dakotas and Tuscaloosa in SW MS).
Bad:
- ACA - the list of reasons is too long to even begin to mention.
- Open border policy is actually going to be bad in a number of ways, not the least of which for democrats will be running off the African American voting monopoly IMO
- The Fed continuing to prop up the market is creating a bubble that may make all other bubbles seem small by comparison when it pops
- Taking our eyes off of Iran during the Syria and ISIS mess is going to result in a nuclear Iran which changes the entire dynamic of that part of the world.

I hope for the sake of the kids that the industrialization of China doesn't backfire on them.

That is an amazingly answer-less answer. What specifically about it will cause it to gain such favor, and allow it to be considered a success down the road?
