OK, so because a guy spends less than he makes he isnt going to be self sufficient economically?  How does that work?

Not when his profit margin is so dangerously close to being an actual loss. It's comparable to a bank being on the verge of having less assets than liabilities, and then trying to pretend that nothing bad is going to eventually happen.

Possibility != reality.

Depends, at some point, a high enough possibility becomes inevitability.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.
