@triffid and @all
Someone at the employment service I'm at right now copied a news article that said the same exact thing.  Another I had printed out also said that people who're out of work long enough will become unemployable under any and all circumstances.  You hit the nail on the head on that one.
     I'm not very serious about future employment in this economy.  I do this to find a permanent place to live right now.

A Reuters article today (the 27th) indicated that the USA will 'likely' lose its AAA credit rating from at least one rating agency in due course.  That not as bad as the debt default, but it's bad enough.

  Could the default be just another planned way of buying more time, as they know what will happen eventually, but is the only thing they can do?
