Prosperity at the expense of security...Without a modicum of security, isn't the U.S. market becoming a high-risk investment climate?

Conversely, could the fact that more people are now living hand-to-mouth stimulate the economy in the short term? After all, they wouldn't be investing or saving, and the money circulates.

This blog is great. Very thought-provoking, albeit somewhat above my head.

Thanks.
