It's just going to continue to worsen. 2008 was the last shot at cleaning up some of this bullshit. Instead, it just went into overdrive (alas, just as it did in the early 2000's).
This is what happens when you give people things for free. They abuse their gifts, bitch that you didn't give them more and do it sooner. Too bad my Grandpa isn't running this country... "Social support" would be "3-squares and a cot"... and if you want better than that in your life, GET A FARKIN' JOB!!
