Prediction:
The U.S. will break up within 50 years
Objective measurement:
Individual states or blocks of same will no longer obey Federal regulations nor send Federal taxes to Washington.
When:
by January 1st, 2045
Why:
History has shown that _every_ large country/empire has eventually brokenup into smaller states, without exception (occasionally, those states later form a country with a similar name, but I digrebss). Over the last two decades, the U.S. has been showing more and more signs of regionalism rebeling against nationalism. I would be very surprised if the breakup did _not_ occur within 50 years, but only mildly suprised if it occured within twenty.
