There was a recent news item about a small town in Texas where locals were yelling how they wanted their PRISON back! Why, b/c it was the main employer there- their only source of livelihood. How sick is that, how our country has so many desperate people, families and communities dependent now on PRISONS and Military Bases and Installations for work and income in order to live.

A huge domestic agenda for improving this country domestically needs to be developed very soon before matters become worse esp. with the 50% irreversible unemployment in the next 20 years that will result from recent advances in computerization, robotics, 3 D printing and driverless vehicles.

The MIT Technology Report has covered this massive change that we are unprepared for based on the work of the Oxford-Martin Center and other research institutions. There's a 15 min, video, "Humans Need Not Apply" from last year that provides a scary but probably fairly realistic view of these changes.
