Suicide rates among middle-aged Americans have risen sharply in the past decade, prompting concern that a generation of baby boomers who have faced years of economic worry and easy access to prescription painkillers may be particularly vulnerable to self-inflicted harm.
More people now die of suicide than in car accidents, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which published the findings in Friday’s issue of its Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. In 2010 there were 33,687 deaths from motor vehicle crashes and 38,364 suicides.

The Obama hasn't even hit the fan, so to speak, in terms of the looming economic severity they say is coming our way.

Allowing 12 million or three times as many illegals, and the multitude who will flood in after the great enabling, who don’t even respect our laws, to come in under their special, I don’t care about America’s laws and take more resources, ought to fix it.
Coincidence?
More people now die of suicide than in car accidents,....because the accident rate has fallen because less folks can afford to drive and the new cars allow maiming instead of outright death.

This boggles the mind... Americans voted for the unicorns and rainbow of hopenchange twice, and are reaping what they asked for. Why the despondency?

Response to the first comments on this thread: If you really truly count on Government, there’s nobody, in the end, on whom to count. That’s why we call it the “culture of death,” and that’s what links pro-lifers, family values and 2A advocates, and property/states rights people: Ours is the culture of LIFE, the Abrahamic culture of the Individual under one God. “Shema Israel Adonai eloheinu Adonai EHOD.”
Obama sees this as a good thing because it reduced the costs of social security and medicare.
