Baby Boomers retire by 2015. There is no Social Security Fund - embezzled twice over by the Feds as Federal paper loans. The Ponzi scheme collapses when 60 million Boomers stop paying in and instead say "Gimme, SS and Medicare" to the tune of $3 trillion/year. The US is $60 trillion in debt with a GNP of $14 trillion/year. Petroleum will be long gone by 2050. Ignore fuels - no petrochemistry to synthesize plastics, pharma, everything.
President Johnson's Great Society in 1965 assumed the poor and stupid could be integrated into society by shearing then flensing the productive. The poor were given money without limit. The stupid no longer suffered under standards of excellence excluding them. THE FUTURE IS HERE! Everything and everyone are impoverished. Everything and everyone are managed by the stupid.
There is no future. AD 476 ws a cakewalk compared to what is coming. The fourth largest economy on the planet is California. 01 July kickoff for State of California bankruptcy. CA treasury is nothing but gas fill 01 August even by the most optimistic projections,
California State Controller's Office : Press Releases
The 22nd century will be God's dominion of poverty, hunger, disease, filth, death, and silk-clad priests with whips. Wild tales of cities, supermarkets, and procelain flush toilets will enthrall the young and embitter adults toward the end of their 40-year lifespans. Bathrooms are coming!
