Reply #9: I don't think this would be the same as the 1930's depression

No internet, no news, people were more innocent and not as street smart as we are today. I foresee if your scenario becomes real, I see people not leaving their homes because they will blockade themselves in them and will violently dare anyone to come and try and put them on the street. I see store lootings nationwide, car stealing, bank robberies, old west lawlessness, there will not be enough law to control the masses if they are hungry and homeless. The govt best step up and do something to put this country back together again, I hope to never see another depression, because it will not be pretty IMHO.

But, on a sidenote, there won't be any more bills due, no money to pay for them
