You mean this trend ... it's called extending unemployment benefits, increasing the taxes on the "rich people," expanding the definition of who is "rich" so that more taxes can be collected, and creating a bunch of debt that will necessitate increasing taxes ON THOSE WHO DO HAVE JOBS AND BUSINESSES, to pay off the debts, and REFUSING to cut benefits to those who have been sopping on the government tit for five generations, and attempting to provide them with mandated health insurance which the government cannot afford ... forget the "over all unemployment rate" ....

... if you voted for Obaminable you ARE THE PROBLEM. That's the trend.
Now, let's fiddle with the 2nd amendment bullshit while "Rome" burns to the ground.
