I like Kork's comment, too. Thing is, those of us that are financially secure may not really be all that secure. Up to now, the American consumer has accounted for 2/3ds of the economy. Either the pie will get smaller, taking businesses and jobs with it, or something else will fill the void, like government spending. What this has to mean, ultimately, is more taxes. So the net result is, if you don't spend it, they will simply take it from you.
We don't have control over what happens to GM, Citigroup, healthcare costs, gas prices, etc. either. Hold on for a ride.
