Number of jobless steadily growing? Maybe you missed the new report from the Fed. Unemployment is down and the economy grew at more than 2% over the last quarter.(3% is the rate of growth at the natural rate of unemployment)
I understand what you're saying about the burden on the states. The problem I see is wasteful spending. "slashing spending" isn't quite accurate either. Spending was just increased by less than originally forecasted.
