Your point?
Thinking there is somehow going to be a sort of awakening that suddenly sweeps across the United States whereby everyone puts down their selfish desires to live at others' expense and picks up a shovel to get to work is silly.
Those types are going to be out in the streets burning the place down and demanding their freebies that they have gotten used to.
Dependence does not create independence. Some of them may get it and change their ways. The vast majority will not.
Greece is rioting and on fire. If we go bust and the freebies get turned off, we will be on fire too.
