That's when Bankruptcy filing comes into play (which is coincidentally on the rise,) and who pays for the bankruptcy claims? The people who are sitting nice with their jobs, and said "tough shit."

And what about American's "always having their hands out for money." Well, obviously. The values and standards pushed as being acceptable by society as a whole are to blame, and this has a lot more to do than being a "fat ass." Money and power and "things" are what this country has become about, and NO ONE (not even this administration, with its questionable interest in seemingly helping out greedy corporations and shady executives) is above some blame. Hell, instead of doing something like raising wages, this administration lowered Interest rates, and interest rates apply to some sort of debt. Sooooo, isn't that, in a way, encouraging people to take on more debt? It seems to me, that paying them more, is a better (and safer) method than making it easier for them to borrow more
