Well , you could be right about much of your opinion.  Mine is that the 
"uber-idle" will do just fine.  They always do.  Who do you think is drving 
the price of gold.  Who do you think is funding ultra-shorts (and profiting 
hansomely.  You needn't worry about the "uber-idle".  They aren't.

It is the hard working wage earners who will be hurt the most.  They will 
have to work much harder for less renumeration.  That distinction in modern 
Amwerican society is something you seem to not recognize.

I'm not that worried about myself, James, other than personal safety and 
investments losing money, my wife and I will be fine.   But, I have four 
brothers down South, who all work hard for a living.  I have acquaintances 
here, some who work hard for a living.  I'm a bit concerned about myself.  
I'm damn concerned about my family, society & culture ...bobford
