Does this tell you anything about the quality of this "recovery?" When I was sixteen I reasoned that if the time came that more than half of the earners were living off government, it would be the death knell of our republic. Now it's happened. To reverse this trend will be nearly as painful as what Greece is going through, but unless we do it and accept the pain, we're going to end up with the same scenario as "Atlas Shrugs." The statists will hate it and resist it to the point of violence, hopefully limited and scattered. They have gotten too many of their demands too easily by demagoguery and intimidation, but unless a majority of us wakes up and stands up for freedom, our children will have no future.
