The auto industry will shut down assembly lines which will result in millions losing jobs.

Those millions plus millions from other companies which depend on the auto industry will not only stop making money but will begun applying for unemployment.

The baby boomers have just started, in the second half of 2007, to apply for social security. The rate at which they claim will escalate exponentially in the coming years.

So to summarize... the worker generations following the baby boomers are way lower in population, have less jobs, higher unemployment, higher taxes, higher interest on less credit.

Anything I missed? Any of it positive?
I think you are spot on. But I think the way this is going to fall on tax payers and everyone else is the complete destruction of the dollar. Our first excuse to start inflation was because we didn't want to raise taxes during War. Except, instead of paying it back, we just kept it growing and growing.
