In the last week my father, a businessman in the boomer generation, has asked me the same question. He has worked for decades in three fields of business, each about to be nationalized/socialized/destroyed by the Obama administration. He's looking at his employees going on unemployment, his salesforce without a product to sell, and his own life's work disappear before his eyes. I do not know what to tell him when he starts expounding on the downward spiral.
It's a damn good question to be honest.
