Your outlook is pretty bleak.
I say...if a group of illegal mexicans have enough drive and will to work that they are smart enough to go to a plant nursery and hold up signs to do the hard work of digging holes and planting trees...then all those bums standing on the corners here in Vegas with signs begging for handouts could do the same thing.
I've had setbacks in my life. Found myself without a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of.
I've never stayed that way for more than a few days though. I'm driven.
But I know lots of guys who have zero drive and zero ambition.
As for the predictions you are making of everybody being out of work because of the nature of things...that's the same thing we were being told in the 1970's when I was in high school.
And yet...here we are. Up until the end of 2008 this country effectively had full employment. (around 5% unemployment rate)
And once the housing market is stabilized....the economy will start to rise and we will once again be back at that rate. Which is also when federal revenues will rise.
