I had to "enjoy" first hand experience of crashed economy in my country and here are my observations:
1. Shady businesses flourish - black market, smuggling, cheating
2. Government becomes corrupted, justice system slows down
3. Inflation + shortages in retail stores
4. High budget losses
5. Financial instabilty
This factors must be considered whenever we speak about economic crisis.
What I don't know is to what extent US economy would be damaged in case of such crisis. From outside, it looks pretty solid and it's hard to believe it could suffer even from major breakdowns.
It's true that more people at homes means more signups. But who will stop sponsors shaving?
