Annotation:
This report contends that the US is in the midst of a perfect storm —the result of the confluence of three powerful forces — that is having a major impact on our country. If present policies are maintained, the report suggests it is very likely that we will continue to grow apart, with greater inequity in wages and wealth, and increasing social and political polarization.
