In all seriousness, I don't have a friggin' clue. Predictions are tough, especially when they're about the future.
Kind of a tough position we've put ourselves into with globalism - not only is this country failing, but the entire concept of capitalism is failing along with it (which is somewhat shocking, considering how much older one is than the other...)

I guess that's what happens when you let the alchemists convince you that a currency-based economy makes more sense than a resource-based economy... Looks like they were finally able to make gold out of "nothing" after all - too bad illusions aren't sustainable...
