It's simple. If suddenly 7 million jobs are lost, you'd have a massive decline in consumer spending and tremendous disruption of production in all kinds of industries because of the lost workers. All kinds of agricultural companies would lose 75% of their production and sales revenues. That's the impact of destroying such a large number of jobs in a relatively short time.

So, if I find that my business partner has been engaging in illegal business practices and cooking the books to avoid paying taxes, but it is critical to the bottom line of my business and the financial impact of correcting the illegal activity would disrupt my business, then, in your mind, I should just continue to let my business partner continue his illegal activities?
