I would also question how well those polled even understand how an economic collapse would impact them or what it could mean for the country and the world as a whole.

I suspect that this is just another example of how the majority of citizens don't
understand how major issues may actually impact their lives.What I am suggesting is that many polled may believe the economy is going to collapse but are non-chalant about it because they don't actually know what that could mean, and/or do not think that it will effect them in any way other then gas or something similar will cost more.

I am not suggesting a collapse is not eminent only that I would question the knowledge of those who compose the poll.

Even as a young inexperienced man from B.F.E. I can't believe how many people my age and older than me don't grasp how issues outside of their small world could actually impact their lives significantly. Their is such of a sense of "oh who cares it will work itself out, we live in America nothing bad could happen here, to me etc. etc."

Sorry if that is too far off topic.
