On the subject of fiscal discipline... I think people will have to be hungry, first. The Seattle Times columnist last week wrote about a cherry and pear grower in eastern Washington which lost most of it's pickers due to lack of immigration papers. "The average [pay] last year was $16.48 an hour for picking cherries and $12.19 an hour for apples." They cannot get locals to take those jobs. As a country, I think we will respond just like the Greeks to "austerity" measures, where austerity is a euphemism for living within our means. So this fruit far is actually flying in it's own workers, from Jamaica. What a bizarre twist with sky high unemployment. I would think that perpetual unemployment extensions will destroy jobs in the US as more and more former workers become comfortable living on the dole.
