#1 Why speculate? Just give O a second term and you can find out for yourself.

#2 Just give O a second term

You're such an optimist.

#4 Folks, we are a third world country, the debts have just started to come in. Bambi has no way to pay for any of this except by more and more crushing taxation. Sooooo cuts to everything but entitlements will grow and grow, even as the borrowing makes the entitlement dollars real net value evoporate into an hyper-inflationary spiral. How does an emerging third-world status show itself here in the US even now? Drive the highways in the Workers Paradise of California and tell me how they differ from a number of 3rd world sh*tholes you have all been in? Go wait in line at the DMV or an emergency room, and look around as you wait 2-4 hours or more. Feel like America or Guatemala?
These are all the emerging future as the systems and structures of the rich past meet the poverty of the present. Just a taste you say, wait and see. The Dems are going to pass socialst healthcare shortly, and then the giant money suck will really begin.

#5 Generally a third world country has leaders that rob and steal and cheat to enrich themselves at the expense of the nation as a whole. We are scary close to that right now which is why the people are rebelling.

#6 It's already happening. The elites who are running this country, both Republican and Democrat, want masses of poor and ignorant people. They want cheap labor and illiterate voters and they are importing them just as fast as they can. Infrastructure is crumbling under the burden and the bankrupt local, state and federal governments can't afford to fix it. Twenty years from now all of southern California will look like Mexico City.

#7 Importing them? Hell - ever been to a Public School lately? They ae growing ignorant, illiterate voters right under our noses.

#8 CA public schools test scores, sortable by every major ethnic group, every grade level, every school and every school district in the state. Here are the results for "Hispanics" across all grade levels:

Read it and weep.
