My theory is that most of the crooks who ran the savings and loans banks into the ground are now doing HMO's. As soon as they run them into the ground they will be moving into some other area favored by the tilt of the politico-economico landscape (information about which they have the power and money to be privy to). You are certainly right about "government welfare on a truly enormous scale." Here is something from "The Imperial Middle: Why America Can't Think Straight About Class":

<<My subject is a nation in shackles, its thought, character, and public policy locked in distortion and lies. The deciet I speak of corrodes every aspect of American life. It legitimizes, in war, arrangements exempting without cause large sectors of the younger male population from the burdens and sacrifice of service. It grants giant subsidies for housing, education, and healthcare in obedience to a single precept: benevolence is most deserved where least needed. It intimates in comtempt of reality that whatever injustice exists in America resides on the margins and among the minorities, remote from the center and the majority.>>
