Describe the country's stage of economic development. What are your predictions for the future of the country over the next 5 to 10 years? Justify your answers.

Not quite sure how to answer this exactly but I know what Ive been told by my contacts in DC due to my background and fear is now that very soon the US will be in a economic turmoil with the economy busted to pieces and way too many people out of work and DC knows what an idle mind means and with too many idle minds, big trouble looms just over the horizon unless Obama or the next president doent pull a huge financial rabbit out of his hat so basically things don't look very good for the US  for the near future at all and will probably only get worse from here. What will happen exactly may be very much comparable to what we are seeing happening now around the world but will be here at home. Just my opinion based on DC grapevine
