Those of us who are well fed, well garmented and well ordered, ought not to forget that necessity makes frequently the root of crime. It is well for us to recollect that even in our own law-abiding, not to say virtuous cases, the only barrier between us and anarchy is the last nine meals we’ve had. It may be taken as axiomatic that a starving man is never a good citizen.

Alfred Henry Lewis, 1896

If this happens it's going to be interesting to see how the american people react. And unfortunately either way it swings works out to the favour of the republican party.
