1. If there is no fuel on the “civilian“ market, NO trucks will be moving, truckers will the first ones out of work.
2. The government officials and the rich will get their necessities, Haliburton will take over the deliveries by purchasing used trucks from China, then reselling them to the US gov’t. They will have their own private army protecting those shipments. The workers will come most likely from the Middle East, where their oil economies have been devastated by years of war, and they will work for less than the Mexicans for free entry into the USA.
3. High ranking government officials will be protected by Blackwater.
4. The gov’t will restart, with the urging of Corporate America, the WPA, building the border fence , only to find due to a “oversight” and “design flaw,” it really doesn’t stop people from coming in, it only stops them if they try to leave.
5. McDonald’s sales will plunge, but the number of obese Americans will decline by 70% and the incidences of diabetes will drop by 2/3. The “blue ribbon” Senate sub committee sees no relationship between the menu at McDonalds and the better health of young Americans, and will vote to provide continued subsidies to McDonalds as it is in the “national interest.” to do so.
6. Ditto subsidies to Wal-Mart, the mortgage loan business, Wall Street, oil companies and the insurance industry.
7. A controversial study released will find average Americans, despite the severe economic downturn, as a whole are happier in their lives, spending more time with their children, taking more interest in their education, in far better health, divorce rates declined sharply, church attendance is up, and with the new sense of “community” the crime rates declined to record lows. The air is cleaner, the rivers flow sparkling clear, and the food supply is free from chemicals. This report will be banned by the gov’t as subversive and treasonous.
