In America's next decade,change and challenges
By Rick Hampson,USA TODAY
A new decade finds Americans in an uncomfortable and yet familiar position:running scared.
Almost three-fourths of them,according to a USA TODAY/Gallup Poll,don't like the way things are going in the country.Given economic deprivation and political division,plus war,terrorism and a warming world,who would?
But during the next 10 years,our fright may be our salvation.Americans often suspect they face the worst of times and,as a result,try harder to make the best of them.
Whether it's the launch of Sputnik in 1957,the fall of Saigon in 1975 or the economic challenge from Japan in the 1980s,"there's this persistent conviction that our best days are behind us," says George Friedman,founder of STRATFOR,a private intelligence service."We always think that the U.S.is finished."
DECADE IN REVIEW:Looking back at the past 10 years
Yet Americans' assumption that they're at the brink is what saves them from going over it.Instead of underestimating challenges,we overreact.In a competitive world,Friedman says,"it's a key to our success."
You can hear echoes of that in the debate over the national debt.
David Walker,former head of the Government Accountability Office,says we'll be a poorer nation in 2020 unless we quickly reduce borrowing for federal spending:"We've kicked the can down the road as far as we can.We are at the abyss."
Dean Baker of the liberal Center for Economic and Policy Research,however,sees a national economy in 2020 "not hugely different than today....It's not a horror story.We're not on the brink of collapse."
If history's a guide,we'll hope Baker is right,and act as if Walker is.
That tension between optimism and pessimism is particularly relevant as the future comes faster than ever."In the next 10 years we're going to see more changes than in the last 20," says Los Angeles marketing consultant Anthony Mora.
Historians chalk it up to the "creative destruction" that accompanies major technological innovation,be it steam and coal in the early 19th century or digital information in the 21st.
"Boom industries reshape not just our economy,but our society," says Michael Stoff,co-author of the college U.S.history textbook Nation of Nations."That's what's happening now."
What happens next?USA TODAY reporters and specialists talked to experts,stretched their imaginations and came up with ideas about what 2020 might look like:
