Being old enough to remember, college kids being gunned down for protesting, cities burning during the "68" riots, gas lines around the block, double digit interest rates...I'd say we're about a 2. Get a grip!

As for "trouble right now", I'd say 2 or 3. But unfortunately, it's like being in quick sand up to your ankles... it's not critical this moment, but will be soon and you know it's likely there is no escape.

1 would be a great booming economy
10 would be absolute disaster
I rate our current situation a 5.
