You give too many people too much credit for foresight, JCricket.

Haven't we watched people who work in manufacturing walk into stores and gladly buy up all of the cheapest foreign made stuff they can find, only to find THEMSELVES unemployed a few years later, and wondering what happened? I've seen it over and over again, all of my life.

How many people do you know personally, who decry things like SS and Medicare/Medicaid as "socialism"?....Then when you get them talking, you discover that they have NOTHING, nada, zip, zero planned for their own retirement? Aren't even trying.

Think about it.
