What is America's imediate and long term future going to be like ?

Answer 1

Well I guess that that is all up to US isn't it? People to need to take an active part in government and be more responsible and take charge of their lives.

Answer 2

During the past few years, popularity has diminished in the eyes of foreign nations.

The propensity to use troops at whim is now coming home to torment.

Candidates for the presidency who have favored Iraq occupation by voting with administration are now ducking for cover.

I applaud any candidate who hasn't voted on this disaster.

Near term, America is facing possibility that grows stronger each day, of financial problems whereby too much of the housing that was built is not getting sold because they are way above the means of the majority who are struggling to keep jobs.

Long term, the new president will patch up foreign relations.

We need a world in sinc with solving real problems of earth's devastation, whole populations without adequate housing and care.

This can be worked to a betterment of mankind with America leading, adopting technology as it unfolds.

Potential enemy threats can be contained through adoption of strategic iniatives that only technology can provide.

Use of old weapons to solve new and demanding problems will go the way of the lame duck.

Answer 3

Well the immediate future will be a democratic President will be elected to clean up the repubs mess again. It started with Nixon we had to clean up that mess, then Regan- Bush sr we had to save the country from economic disaster and now we will have to save the country again!

For the long term I can only pray.

Answer 4

In what respect?
Economically?
Socially?
Militarily?
I can tell you that the average age of Americans keeps rising. The Baby Boom generation is anywhere from 50 to 60 years old today. That's a lot of old people running around.
People will no doubt be trying to rejuvenate and find the fountain of youth...buy stock in Pfizer!

Answer 5

Americas future looks very strong. -I guess your one of those people who likes to talk about the "decline of America". We've been hearing that crap for the last 250 years. Next year will make 251. And so on and so on.

Answer 6

About the time our original thirteen states adopted their new constitution in 1787, Alexander Tyler, a Scottish history professor at the University of Edinburgh, had this to say about the fall of the Athenian Republic some 2,000 years earlier:

"A democracy is always temporary in nature; it simply cannot exist as a permanent form of government." "A democracy will continue to exist up until the time that voters discover they can vote themselves generous gifts from the public treasury."

"From that moment on, the majority always vote for the candidates who promise the most benefits from the public treasury, with the result that every democracy will finally collapse due to loose fiscal policy, which is always followed by a dictatorship."

"The average age of the world's greatest civilizations from the beginning of history, has been about 200 years"

"During those 200 years, those nations always progressed through the following sequence:

1. from bondage to spiritual faith;
2. from spiritual faith to great courage;
3. from courage to liberty;
4. from liberty to abundance;
5. from abundance to complacency;
6. from complacency to apathy;
7. from apathy to dependence;
8. From dependence back into bondage"


Professor Joseph Olson of Hemline University School of Law, St.Paul, Minnesota, points out some interesting facts concerning the 2000 Presidential election:

Number of States won by:
Gore: 19
Bush: 29

Square miles of land won by:
Gore: 580,000
Bush: 2,427,000

Population of counties won by:
Gore: 127 million
Bush: 143 million

Murder rate per 100,000 residents in counties won by:
Gore: 13.2
Bush: 2.1

Professor Olson adds: "In aggregate, the map of the territory Bush won was mostly the land owned by the taxpaying citizens of this great country. Gore's territory mostly encompassed those citizens living in government-owned tenements and living off various forms of government
welfare..."

Olson believes the United States is now somewhere between the "complacency and apathy" phase of Professor Tyler's definition of democracy, with some forty percent of the nation's population already having reached the "governmental dependency" phase
