so in effect it's already going to each of us.

My house is paid off and I don't borrow money to pay bills. Guess I'm just one of the idiots who acted responsibly so I could pay for the irrisponsible ones.

Good for you. I’m in the same boat. I hate owing anybody anything. I’m worried about my savings though. If there is a run on the banks I don’t know what would happen. Chaos for sure. Gov would close the banks. Then what? At least I’ve got lots of Ammo and Guns!!

Well, there are at least two of us in this boat.....but the overwhelming majority of folks I know would/will be out on the street if they miss 3 paychecks. These same people called me "lucky" when I paid off my house and farm in 2001 after 15 years of working 100 hour weeks and 280 days a year traveling in pursuit of my profession. Luck had nothing to do with it. It's called living within your means. A lot of these same folks are about to get a big dose of that "living within your means" stuff, I guarantee.....
