Everything that the politicians said they will do, will be done right away, and without contest. I agree with Pauly, moar feer! I can understand being prepred, though. It might be a better idea to just build some savings to have to fall back on when you're sure that you'll HAVE to be looking for a job. I have had people tell me over the years that you need to always keep your resume up to date (and watching for something better.)
