I presume that in your prediction, in the economic recovery phase there will be so much work to do and such a dire need for everyone to be productive that the idea of anyone not being able to find a job will be a complete non-issue. Not only will there be some sort of job for every single able bodied American who can work but the society will leave its current entitlement phase entirely and demand that every American, who is capable of working, goes out and gets the jobs that they will be most productive in. Is that a correct assessment of what you are saying?
Depends on how destructive the collapse is. However, it is very likely the welfare state will come to a complete halt. Can’t hand out government handouts if there is no government to hand them out.
So yep, everyone will have to work or steal to eat and I expect that deadly force used on thieves will make work more attractive than usual.
The collapse of the regulatory state and the end of endless compliance forms to be filled out will allow many former teatsuckers to become small business owners.
What I don’t see is a slow rolling back of the current system. I think change will come in a series of unpleasant jolts.
