"The United States of Adult Dependence"
I don't think we should be surprised by this.
It's only natural that parents try to take care of their kids.
Unfortunately, as the statistics presented show, this looks to be a way of life for some time to come...

David Morris has several unattractive statistics like this one in his posting at Townhall.com:
"A total of 3,205,000 post-high school degrees were conferred in May of 2011, yet only 54,000 new jobs were created that month. With a labor market already approximated at around 198 million people, such a ratio of new-jobs-to-new-graduates spells easily falls short of what's necessary to launch the promise of a new generation into the labor market. Even the most optimistic of estimates places a rate of 130,000 jobs per month as necessary if a return to pre-recession unemployment is to be obtained. The 84,000 jobs created in October, though a 'recent high' still falls woefully short of a solution."
