I would be more concerned about in approximately 20-30 years time when China can overtake the US economy, and it's citizens have more wealth, and purchasing power.

My suggestion: start having more kids. China could at anytime mess up the US economy by selling T-shares, devaluing the American dollar. Only reason they haven't because it isn't sensible at the current time. The whole world is dependent on America as the biggest market for consumers. As soon as this aspect changes, America has to adjust it's economy to be less dependent on the service industry or face the consequences. America grew to be powerful through manufacturing, and brokering. What once worked shouldn't become lost. We must learn to manufacture goods cheaply without being dependent on foreign variables.

Only when people get hits in the wallets will people realize how much they lost their liberties. That'll be when everything starts to suck.
