3. What a great question.
My take on America:

The chasm between the wealthy and the middle class and poor will be wider than ever. I hate to say it, folks, but we're turning into a country of haves and have nots.

This is so depressing.

We'll largely be a service economy. Most of our high tech jobs will be shipped overseas.

Good news will be that the religious right's influence will be dramatically lessened. There will be a huge backlash against the rr. Gay people will benefit from this. DOMA will be found to be unconstitutional, paving the way for gay marriage in all but name (it won't be called marriage). Don't Ask Don't Tell will be repealed, with gays and lesbians serving openly in the military. ENDA (the Employment Non Discrimination Act) will be FINALLY enacted.
