The cuneiform inscription in the Liberty Fund logo is the
earliest-known written appearance of the word
"freedom" (amagi), or "liberty." It
is taken from a clay document written about 2300 B.C. in the Sumerian city-state of Lagash.

It does not take much to predict that Washington will not be able to reign in their spending. Interest rates must rise resulting in a real mess and a bad economy for generations. On the other hand, if Washington performs a miracle and controls spending, the austere outcome will create a recession/depression that will last for at least the next 10 years. The second option is much better but neither is anything to look forward to.
