Would the back of a herd know if the front was running off a cliff?

50% of Americans…have only a one-month cushion,
roughly two paychecks or less,
before they would be unable to fully meet their financial obligations
if they were to lose their jobs.


Twenty-nine percent of those making $100,000 or more a year
said they would have trouble paying the bills
after more than a month of unemployment.


Financial Fears Grow
Marketwatch


Has corruption of the political, capitalist and information systems
negatively influenced economic performance and consumer behavior
through legislation, budget appropriation, regulation and taxation,
to benefit a few at the expense of many?
