By 2030 the U.S. will be the brazil of North America, petty much a 3rd world country, there will likley be more nations ahead of us other then china.

So we're going from the most advanced nation on earth with the largest economy to third world in 22 years?

I think I'm going to remain a bit skeptical if it's all the same to you.

you apparently haven't been to Brazil. Those beaches are hardly a tradeoff for Brasilia and the non-beach portion of Rio. Ungra, now that's a sweet area.
