Simply crazy, but imagine living standards without that cash.

Since 2005 too many have gone onto welfare. That's people not working, not contributing and companies not making profits. Soaking them up with jobs that don't produce a $$ profit is more costly than putting them on welfare.

I've always believed I have to produce profit to get myself out of debt. Yes I've been there. You can't borrow more, charity or any other way. Make more money than you spend and you're in clover.

That site has a lot more charts to view, really interesting to see how they chart the US economy. As so many are reliant on it for a sales market. It applies to all of us.
