Could Someone Please Educate Me?

I am befuddled and would like some un-fuddling.

With all the foreclosures (Realty Trac says only a third are listed on the MLS) just WHAT to the banks and various and sundry investors think is going to happen when there are millions of American famlies homeless?

With the unemployment numbers climbing daily (if we use a true count our unemployment rate is somewhere around 12%). Just what do our rulers think is going to happen when the raw number tops 10%

With food banks turning into soup lines is there any concern "at the top" for American's going hungry? Just what do "they" think will happen?

I'm not silly enough to believe the top 1% cares one bit, nor loses any sleep worrying about it all. No, the safely well off don't and won't have a care in the world.

Excluding the very tippie top 1% (what's that, 303,000 people, it leaves 270 MILLION Americans in various degrees of distress.

Oh, sure, we can maybe organize a rebellion (good luck with that) but we don't have the guns, or the gas, or the food to be much of a threat.

So please, what do you think? How can the government and our corporate elite possibly handle the future they are creating for us?  Do they have some kind of plan?

If we take all this to it's logical "end game" just who will collect the bodies and bury them? The frozen old people, the starving children, the angry unemployed factory workers. All of this trickle down dispair will spread deep into the lives of 270 million people.

Just what will they do with us all?
