I hate "not in my backyard" stuff that assumes the rest of the world will be just fine if a few places run into trouble. If even a handful of entire states go bankrupt, the people outside of those areas will not be immune to the effects. The same is true for a lot of other things that happen in the world. This isn't something to be watched from the sidelines, it's something that should receive real support. The story should be, "here's how you can help these struggling areas". (Oh, and thank you Comcast for insulting my WebKit-based browser and suggesting I "upgrade" to something you "support". Time to join 2011 and stop displaying these browser-sniffing pages.)
