Sadly, Paul46360, I rather imagine you are correct. If this thing gets its fangs much deeper into the US economy, it will be impossible to undo. Much like all the other FedGov giveaway and wealth redistribution plans.
Modeled upon...is kind of like a lot of movies and TV shows based upon an historical fact. Our hero, Sam Johnson, began life a farm boy in Armpit Junction. Now he is a special agent for an un-named agency operating in the darkest rain forest in South America. His mission is to save the world. Historical fact: There actually is a placed named Armpit Junction and someone named Sam Johnson lived there on a farm. So much for the historical fact or modeling-what follows has no resemblence to the facts or the model.
