Quite frankly I believe the US and Canada will have 3rd world status in less than 25 years and we will have three classes in our society.

-Gold collar workers, who are the creators and innovators in society;
- Menial laborers, who work for low wages, are paid hourly and are often on contract;
- Chronically unemployable, who have no marketable skills and cannot find work.

Public education is a failure, standards are getting lower and the rich (or smart) prop up the system by paying for tutors, private school, etc.
Good news is my kids will have your kids job....oh wait...that's only good news for me.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
