The issue is not the individuals who meet this fate, but the social 
implications of a ruined middle-class. If the American economy betrays 
this class, it will eventually bite the hand that once fed it. Speaking 
of which, it is a good test of an analysis I have heard in the past that 
posits a fascist reaction to an economic collapse in advanced 
industrialized countries. So far, the evidence is a shift to the left 
looking at Iceland et al.
