mariner, You are wrong and Kollel life will continue to grow and prosper. The kollel guy making 20k/year is A LOT more productive than the Goldman Sachs analysts making 600,000/year (the average salary of all — including taking into account the janitors — Goldman Sachs employees.)
And yes my friend, they WILL continue to accept every dollar in available food stamps, etc. And G-d bless them for it. So why are we having this debate? Life goes on.
