Public anger soars. Late January 2000 - Many businesses suffer from deprivation of services as impact spreads. Business failures will cause many lost jobs. February 2000 - Loss of jobs result in higher unemployment claims and lower income tax revenues for federal and local governments. Demand for local government medical and welfare services grow as many can not afford private services.
Citizens are angry about continuing problems.
Politicians unfavorable ratings dominate the polls. 2000 problems receive corrupt data from non-compliant business partners. More business problems and business failures occur. While many businesses and services are back on-line, problems continue. As a result, there is less demand for business products and services, less money in the economy hurting retail sales and resulting in lower sales tax, lower property values resulting in loss of homeowner equity and lower property and capital gains taxes, significant downturn in the equity markets.
