What happens when poverty levels reach 1930s levels? What if it were exacerbated by the inept and malicious leadership of a corrupted Republican party in the pockets of corporations?

What if the presidency, Congress, and Supreme Court are controlled by Republicans. From the midterm elections this year, and 8 years of the presidency starting in 2012.
