The majority of Americans predict a weaker U.S. economy and a burgeoning national debt by 2050, according to a study by the Pew Research Center.
"These grim predictions mirror, in part, the public's sour mood about the current state of the country," wrote the authors of the study, which was released Thursday."The share of Americans who are dissatisfied with the way things are going in the country – 7-in-10 in January of 2019 – is higher now than at any time in the past year."
The historical trend,"where each generation has done better than the previous one, hasn't been true recently," Holzer said."People's pessimism is grounded in some economic reality.""These results likely represent the current anxieties of the economy and the current performance of the economy," said Morin.
You don't have to go that far out with zero efforts by Trump. He prints money 10x more than he accused Obama of destroying our economic structure.
IS OCASIO’S NAME MOST AMERICANS ?
By 2050 ?
Immigrants or citizens that's what it comes down to. We can't take on everyone and we can't help every one without fixing home first
Most Americans know nothing about economics.
I would like to know what Americans predicted in 1990 would happen in 30 years. I bet they predicted we would have colonies on the moon. Or your global warming losers would have predicted we would be under water.
Most Americans? Who may that be: CNBC, your Families , your Uncle Charlie, mother in law, big Bertha, granny, Franchesca, Grampa Louie, and your in law philibardy (living in the attic)? They think that, cause they ,re tired of the two days old lentil soup ration.
Siri, 'Can you please spell Venezuela.'
nobody can predict something so far ... fantasysts !
I predict were all going to be extinct. AOC gives us 12years, heck even if she is wrong by a few, no chance we can make it until 2050.
THX cnbc for the update! Why were you so slow to show the debt escalate under bo's administration when it exploded with bo's piss poor economic policies? THX for nothing cnbc!!!
Fk 2050... I predict I’m alive today, idk about 31yrs from now...
Most Americans living today will be dead by 2050 ... so what's the point? Just ask stupid questions and you will be sure to get irrelevant answers! keepthegarbagecoming
Ha!!!!!! A 31yr crystal ball Cnbc asks some KRAZY ass Q’s!
The debt is a given. Brilliant insight
2050? You’re serious? We are already drowning ourselves with national debt. Don’t need to wait for 40 years to find out.

Fearmongering
Tweeter needs a thumbs down not just a like button
If there is still a viable America, by 2050, the National Debt should be nicking a quadrillion, or so.
Good thing we won’t be here!
all people will use Bitcoin , BitcoinCash , new era global .. no need fiat money anymore .
By 2050! What! try 2020 or 2021. Every Republican President since Teddy Roosevelt has presided over a recession everyone. There will be one coming under Trump. According to Bankrate Financial Security index 61% of Americans do not have 1k to cover unexpected expenses. MAGA
Or we could chose to have a better economy with less debt. Write history before it happens
