In 1,000 years when historians look back at how the United States slowly came apart, they will say that the process began in the 1920s, accelarated exponentially in the 1960s, and was irreversible by 2000.

I think the US has always been about 20-30 years behind Western Europe. I think we'll look a lot like Spain or France in 2050. 10-15% permanent unemployment rates and massively high taxes and social programs. Maybe .25% economic growth.
