        @WSJ The administration is hiding it in plain sight. America is more dependent on government than ever and that spells disaster.

        @WSJ Just due to the economy or the government under Obama relaxing the requirements to qualify? People taking advantage of a bad system?

        @WSJ Any behaviorist will tell you that people on unemployment for 99 weeks probably forgot why they worked in the first place.
