What will America look like in 4 years

I'm sure everyone has an opinion or guess on this. I think I'll ponder my response awhile after I see what you guys think. Thanks, Jay

My healthcare costs will continue to increase (beyond the cost of my housing), because of the fear injected into any discussion about healthcare/insurance reform. The insurance lobby is too embedded in K Street and they have too many Senators in their pockets.

I don't even want to think about the possibilities as it just doesn't look promising now.

I hear ya, but it's so hard to picture this country in real trouble. I just can't make myself see a soup line downtown (or worse). I just worry about this mountain of debt we've gotten ourselves in. What happens if we just flat can't pay up? China needs us to buy all their crap right, so they wouldn't do anything to screw that up.............would they? I've heard one theory that at this point, the guvment might be "planning" on hyper inflation so that when the dollar is worthless, they will then pay off the debt that is in dollars. Then we would start rebuilding the dollar, or change to something else. Hell, I don't know.

I hope that Jack Ass in North Korea doesn't do anything stupid in the next 4 years.

I have no idea whether I will have a job, I work in a company that thrives in offering commercial credit, and, well, they just aren't paying their bills like they used to, and that is freaking scary.

I hope we get the hell out of Iraq.

I hope the government doesn't have majority share in any more industries then they do today, but I am afraid they will.

And lastly, I hope I can still afford heath care, because my wife has Arthritis pretty bad, and it's getting more and more expensive for the medicine, and every year I have to pray that they will continue to pay for it.

Hubby and I pray we live long enough to see this country return to be respected and have the government officials uphold the laws they have sworn to uphold...free of lies and corruption. Our children and grandchildrens future depends on it. This I need to see. Amen
