There seemed to be a disconnect here. Just because one is a Baby Boomer (i.e., has life experience) that doesn't give one the magic ability to predict the economic future of, really, the entire world. This article takes the tone of a wizened elder bestowing his wealth of knowledge on the younger generation but it's really just another futurist taking potshots on what's to come for the United States.
At this point there are so many people talking of what's 'inevitable' that I'm disinclined to trust anyone who has a prediction range longer than a week.

I would at least give it more credence if it was from someone who appeared to have any sort of track record with or familiarity with economics. Looking at this guy's past columns, I see a pretty strange mix of stuff: http://www.drurywriting.com/keith/ http://www.drurywriting.com/keith/
- Locke1689 16y agoUgh. Yeah I found this. I teach practical ministry courses at Indiana Wesleyan University. I write a weekly Tuesday Column during the school year and am usually backpacking or bicycling in the summer. A real economics guru we've found.

- akl 16y agoI'm sure some people might argue he has, but ultimately it doesn't matter in this context; failure of 'real' economics gurus to succeed does not mean any random person is equally capable in the subject.
