Today they expect the politicians to house them, feed them, clothe them, educate them, and protect them by enslaving someone else.

First the irony. You are aware that Dresden was in Nazi Germany right? You know the guys who had the National Socialist government educate their children so that they would go into other countries, kill their people, and take their stuff so that they could fund their socialist workers state.

Second dependence on the government ends rapidly once it becomes obvious that the government has no power. Long before 90% of the people die they will start to scavenge. If they has said an EMP burst would kill millions I wouldn't argue the point. But 60 million people, the number killed by all causes in WW II, including death camps, area bombing, a couple of atomic bombs, and massive dislocation of populations in Europe and Asia, is only 20 percent of the US population today. After one in five people are dead I'm thinking the other four are going to stop waiting for Fedzilla to come save them and start working on ways of saving themselves.

I hope you're right. They'll blame God. They'll blame government. They'll blame each other, but no one will blame themselves. Times HAVE changed. Governments and technology have made things way too easy.
I think the people in the cities will be toast. It'll take more time today to realize Nanny Gov. isn't coming over to cook dinner.
