I live in the USA and I am concerned about the future. I created this blog to share my thoughts on the economy and anything else that might catch my attention.

The Year 2050
Click to enlarge.
I think we can hit 100% but we'll need to stick to the plan.
1. More wars. More wounded veterans means more veteran benefits!
2. More retirement. Demographics! Social Security!
3. More health care. Medicare!
4. More poverty. Food stamps!
5. More unemployment. Automate! Outsource!
It isn't always about having more though. Sometimes it is about having less.
6. Less interest income!
7. Less space exploration!
8. Less infrastructure!
9. Less education!
10. Less freedom!
And lastly, more sarcasm. Can you really ever have too much?

ReplyDeleteMy sarcasmeter red lined on that comment, yet I still want more. I guess you really can't have too much.
Year 2050 is going to be the best year ever. We'll spend 100% of revenues on transfer payments, 100% on war machinery, and 100% on interest. A trifecta! (sarcasm dogpile).
Mr Slippery,
ReplyDelete300%? That's just crazy! You are asking way too much of the players! ;)
