You say that but if you live in LA or TX and this gets extended longer than a year you are going to feel it no matter what you do for a living.
I'm just guessing but I'll probably be alright. However, I'll still shed a tear for all the hood rich oil field boys in Crowley and Rayne whose F-250s are getting repo'd and whose mortgages are 3 months behind. I'll shed a tear just like they shed one for me when the Feds cut medicare payouts by damn near 20% 5 years ago and have been cutting every since. Yea I appreciated those tears....wait!!!
You reap the benefits of the industry you are in and deal with the consequences as well. The oil guys are the only ones that expect (and receive) sympathy from us other folks.

$125 Billion improper payments
quote:
Federal agencies made $125 billion in improper payments last year, including tax credits to people who didn’t qualify, Medicare payments for treatments that might not be necessary and unemployment benefits for people who were actually working, said a government report released Monday.
quote:
three programs stood out: Medicare, Medicaid and the Earned Income Tax Credit.
quote:
The federal government’s increase in improper payments comes after three years of declines. The level previously peaked at $121 billion in 2010 before dropping to $106 billion for the 2013 budget year.
quote:
Medicare’s payments to doctors and hospitals had the most improper payments, at $46 billion.
