Well, people are well off can always ignore the 10% since they are down in the hell hole simply because they did not try harder and a lazy bunch, and snot at the gov that always rob the hard working community to help them. But the truth is, the market has shrink and is not ever coming back, some people are just unlucky to be caught up in the brink of the storm and has no way to come back to the employment since no company is hiring. The lucky ones can do their best to ignore them but please do not splay salt on their wounds by saying 'oh, im going to emigrate, so long for u bunch of loser that try to steal from the rich and try to redistribute my hard-earn wealth'. |
The United States government spends nearly as much as many "Socialist" countries, with the vast majority of that money being directed towards social programs that are worse run and more corrupt than most other developed nations, had a similar crisis to what happened in Japan at the beginning of the lost decade, and is following the same approach that was ineffective in Japan at restoring the economy but increased the debt to 200% of GDP.
At the current rate, the United States will be in far worse shape than most of the PIIGS countries sometime between 2012 and 2016. Realistically, no matter how bad things are today they will be far worse if the US defaults or is put into a forced Austerity program to prevent default.
