Sadly I think this is true. Both parties are pandering to a nation that wants more benefits, more programs, and to top it off lower taxes. You have far too many people even in rather high paying jobs complaining about programs not helping them. People are becoming more and more ignorant, and as a result are blaming the government, the rich, and other people in general. Take a look at this article I just read off CNN.

How can anyone feel sorry for this woman? The only unfortunate part of this story is that her husband left her, and it appears he is not paying child support.
