In an economy that is built upon consumerism, that is expected of you, both by our government (which prints the "money" that you think you have) and media, the handmaiden of government. It's the great government + media
mind f---.
The rich are unaffected.
The middle class will pay. (They will pay dearly IMHO, to pay for both the rich above them and the poor below.)
The poor (those who have saved nothing and have nothing) will be subsidized to buy their allegiance to subsidies, and their votes to grant them continued sustinance. To quote president Clinton, (IMHO the most astute politician of recent times) in his comments about welfare, he said: We have ended welfare
"as we know it".
The working poor are hit the hardest - because they have few or no subsidies and are considered idiots for continuing to work.
