Prediction time

Okay, let's see whether I have any ability to predict the future!

In the coming four years:

• more war, duh


• the war will require more money, which will lead to larger deficits


• larger deficits will, in turn, require more taxes (but not for the rich!


• consequently, the gap between rich and poor will grow)


• Because of the deficits and monies being channelled into the war, there will be less funding for science, education and the arts


• Because of lack of funding, scientists, researchers and such will search for funds elsewhere, resulting in BRAIN DRAIN


• the return of the draft, as swiftly as possible, and in a BIG way


• the eventual collapse of the democratic party (maybe not in the next four years, but come on, people!)


• more alienation of the world against us the United States


• Brazil's increasing importance in world affairs and politics


• privatization of spaceflight


• continued Imperialism and Globalization

Okay, well that's enough doom and gloom for now.
