I can see it from your point of view. Your job is safe if we go into a depression because the government is probably your number one customer. The rest of the country faces some serious uncertainty.

My comments about my 401k were just from a purely selfish perspective looking at easily tangible figures. Potential loss of jobs is harder to calculate because nobody has a crystal ball.

Are you playing devil's advocate here, or do you really not understand that allowing our banks to crash will be bad for the economy?
