I see China becoming both the millitary and the economic leader, by a Loooooong shot.
I see America as continuing to be it's own worst enemy.
With the most popular solution to our problems being to continue devolving
back into a hunt and gather society of ignorant cornpones hiding in
the woods, as Sarah Palin winks and wiggles her ass in our faces from the mandated telescreens hung in every cave tuned to the only remaining channel---FauxNews.
But, that's okay, we'll still have our crappy (Chinese made.) small arms and
a small plastic Jesus figurine (Also made in China.) in our pockets to protect us.
Oh, there will still be wealth to be found in the US. But it will be the Multibillionaire Chinese businessmen and their Wall Street flunkies living in gated communities who only let "Peasant-Americans" in to clean their shitters and shine their shoes.
But, hey. At least everything will be cheap, we won't have to worry about healthcare anymore (Cuz none of us will have it.), and all of the rednecks will be free to hunt and fish all day, (Because they no longer have a choice.).
But, I'll do my best to remain optimistic..............................despite it all.
