The most worrisome thing to me is the job prospects in the US.
There will always be racism and some gov corruption, but if people can't get jobs there is going to be an ongoing issue in this country.
One hidden issue with the rising unemployment is that the bar has been pushed ever higher for what you need to even GET a job. For example, my wife's uncle got his degree around a dozen years before I did (same degree). He makes between 2 and 3 times as much as I do, and in order to get his job the average accepted applicant now has our educational level PLUS an MBA. At that rate, college will not even be worth it for my son unless he gets a Master's Degree or a PHD. That is crazy, especially considering that many if not most people cannot/will not get a degree at all.
Unless prices come down a lot for things people need in life (cars, homes) or unless people start making quite a bit more across-the-board, people in the US WILL NEVER DO AS WELL AS THE BABY BOOMERS. I know that I doubt I will do better than my Dad and he had only a high school diploma.
