if anything remotely similar to this predicted economic collapse happens
welfare programmes will stop en masse
a large portion of the now middle class will become the poor
and the destitute will be revolting..
the gov needs to keep the economic cycle active in the low-end wage area..
welfare does a lot more than just waste public money on undeserving people
street drugs and welfare desensitize a huge part of the the otherwise unruly underclasses
theres much more to it than just that but its still a big part of the strategy of capitalist driven democracy..
i believe the rich are preparing an eventual colapse of the whole low-end of the economy with full support of the current govments
now they are very selective about wich parts of it
to leave alone and wich parts to kill off sell off
of course the corporations are allowed suck the lifeblood out of them first
steal from and exploit their workers and clients/customers
