Someone raised an interesting question on Zero Hedge today about the collapse - whether or not we'll actually have one or perhaps our living standard will just slowly deteriorate over time until we end up in a Mad Max society and no one remembers the "good old days."
Quoting: calx i think it will be a gradual decline and it will be similar to the frog in the pot of cold water. we will never feel the heat until it is too late. :tomn101: Unfortunately I'm starting to feel that way as well. Out with a whimper. these old clowns in washington dc should be ashamed of themselves. the US was a brilliant experiment and one that if we would have adhered to the constitution would have lasted a thousand years, but fifty years of liberalism and like every city dominated by democrats, we are destroyed  1. Hawaii 2. California 3. New Mexico 4. Mississippi 5. Alabama 6. South Carolina 7. Kentucky 8. Illinois 9. Ohio 10. New York 11. Maine Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2011, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. What's the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day. To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $25.00 an hour. [ link to budget.senate.gov] knowing this why is anyone surprised that president santa claus was re-elected?? romney promised to put people to work and provide jobs? pfft....why would anyone want a job? Do these stats include Social Security and Medicare? A lot of articles talking about "welfare" include those items as well. no i don't think it is including that as it says: "food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits." now some seniors could be on food stamps and subsidized housing and i would never begrudge them that, but what i think this is referring to are those who have been on benefits all of their lives.
