How gullible are people anyway? Oh, yeah. Right. I knew that. But, in any event, let's examine the fallacy within the fallacy. The full court press that says "we're broke, so we're firing the teachers, ending Social Security, etc., etc."
Hahahahahahaha.

As the monetary and governance systems become more predatory, they provide less and less of any value to society. We should then expect to see a rise in (a) monetary alternatives; and (b) participation in alternative social institutions that can provide the goods and services people need.

In which we describe genetically based human character deficiencies, explain why the "stimulus package" is actually an anti-stimulus package (unless you are extremely wealthy and an investment banker), set forth the path by which the world economy can be saved and predict the future. (Can you tell I am running on four hours sleep and coffee?)

Human beings have a somewhat astonishing capacity for long term self-delusion.
Most of "law" is devoted to determining who "legally" controls which assets. Most of the system is, of course, entirely absurd and designed to serve specific, rather greedy, interests. These "legal principles" are extrapolated from essentials we all mostly agree on -- it's wrong (and quite inconvenient) for others to take our personal possessions. But, the extrapolation turns the concept on its head and we end up not even owning our personal possessions because someone richer than us has a lien on them or some other claim of right to them.
