Why would they need the military to prevent civil unrest? Surely it would be better for the Government to actually LISTEN to the people for once instead of ignoring them. The financial crisis is not only destroying the economy itself, but also the people's trust in their leaders (worldwide.)
This is just another step towards breaking the rules America was built on.

But don't be too smug about your preparedness, because if you live in the developed world it might one day become quite a challenge to protect your "investments" from those who are unprepared and desperate.
