The only solution to mass automation is the universal basic income. This will have to happen unless we want 90 percent of the worlds population to be living in abject poverty. With most things, the US will lag behind and its populace will suffer as most of the 1st world countries implement a basic income for their populations. Most civilized countries had universal healthcare 50 or so years ago and the US still is dragging its feet at the behest of the wealthy donor class, I would expect the same lag time to occur here when it comes to a universal basic income.

Edit, I see everyone else beat me to the universal basic income argument, good to know we're all at least roughly on the same page with this one.
