At some point (it's already started in some states), there will be less and less money available for social supports as fewer and fewer taxpayers are supporting more and more recipients (at both ends of the wealth spectrum - politics are irrelevant). Benefits and price support programs will be cut. The winners will be those with the cash and means for self-reliance. Look around - welfare benefit cuts get the most press but think of all the old companies that are gone, states/cities bankrupt (and in the process), high-wage blue-collar jobs that are gone. The divide between have and have-nots keeps getting wider.
My opinion - It's only just begun.
