More than a pinch

Despite my own balance sheets, I don't really care what happens to Wallstreet. But I have to admit getting a little freaked by all the stories of overwhelmed social services and people starting to form tent cities of the homeless. Lots of these folks were middleclass just a second ago, and it feels way too much like the outskirts of the Depression. Can the stimulus possibly come soon enough to stave off a really dire situation for a substantial portion of our population?
