By 2016 these 3 numbers will ring true.

20, 28 and 60

20% black unemployment

28 hrs will be the “standard” work week

60 million people on food stamps.

AND Democrats will retain the White House

Any takers?

You left one out....most of the medium sized companies will pay the $1k “fee” instead of messing around with the whole game of health insurance. Rather than fix the problem...I think they actually doubled the health insurance issue in America.

I would never bet against the stupidity of the American electorate.

I wish that I could say that you’re wrong but I am inclined to believe you’re on the money.

Other than thinking you're dramatically under-estimating black unemployment and the number of people on food stamps (we're near 40 million now) no way in hell I'm taking that bet!

Black unemployment is already at 22% in some areas.

60 million people on food stamps.”””

This number is too low, IMO.

I disagree with this point. I think it will settle out to a new "normal" of a 8 hour day, 3 day week, 2 shifts. 24 hour work week. One group works Monday - Tuesday - Wednesday, and the second group works Thursday - Friday - Saturday.

24 hour work week = no 0bamacare, AND they end up with a 6 day production week without overtime.

Those numbers sound about right. If I took that bet, I lose. So I will pass. Thanks anyway.
