The U.S. economy is headed down a 100 miles of bad road. We'll be lucky to come out of this because the potholes are more like sinkholes. This will hurt everyone and the cruel immigration policies with mass deportations mark the end of the affordable labor pool that our 1st and 2nd gen immigrant population have filled in so many of the service industries we've been accustomed to as a diverse nation since the end of WW2. This has all the earmarks of a coming Great Depression II. As a senior, it will be rough on me, but it is the Gen X'ers who will really rue the day they gave their vote to Mango Mussolini's 2nd term. Only the uber wealthy will remain relatively unscathed.
