This prediction has no real base to it but generational political divides might become very large in the upcoming decades. Unless there is some effective reform, the US might face the choice of cutting large amounts of social security, medicare, etc or face extremely large deficits.
Though of course, congress isn't going to do shit about it until the political pressures are too high. Republicans and Democrats are fighting over the captain's chair in a sinking ship.
