Thanks Obama.

[rockinqsranch]

He’s part of it. The march towards leftism over the years has its place in the gathered statistics.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Don’t anyone DARE state the obvious.

And you know EXACTLY what I mean.

[Morgana]

Yea if Hillary gets elected it will really spike.

[taterjay]

That’s what they want. Despair by the masses and there is despair when people are not pointed towards hope.

[clearcarbon]

Suicide is the last treatment of obamacare.

[umgud]

Sadly, suicide is usually a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

[867V309]

Thanks Obama.

If you're sane, you're racist.

[huldah1776]

I have to be honest. If electing DT keeps people from hopelessness, at least there is one good reason.

[Vermont Lt]

It’s the anti rapture.

[builder]

Old news here in California if you are middle aged in any business related to the construction business after the crash in 2008 .
I know three guys in their late fifties whose businesses got wiped out, held on as long as possible and cashed it in with lead.

Many unemployed have lost hope of ever resuming a “normal” life. Laying off an employee these days is like signing a death sentence.

[who_would_fardels_bear]

Emile Durkheim would attribute it to an increase in anomie.

[dfwgator]

It all leads back to the War on the Family that started in earnest in the 60s.

[TruthBeforeAll]

Give people everything they think they want and they realize they have nothing.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Not unusual during an economic depression.

[Arthur McGowan]

Suicide is the highest among people who can remember the 1950s. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

[[U.S. Suicide Rate Surges to a 30-Year High]]

Because the unemployment rate is so high- many peopel lost their homes thanks to unemployment- I’m sure many families broke apart because of unemployment too- and hte fact that our dear leader is more interested in giving money to illegals and refugees, some to the tune of $45,000 a year, and our government PAYING criminals not to commit crimes while good people, legal citizens, have no jobs I’m sure has not set well with hte newly homeless in this ocuntry!

[AnotherUnixGeek]

A big part of this is the increase in suicides among unemployed white men. The Obama years have not been good to what used to be the base of the Democratic Party, as illegal immigration continues unabated.

[FlingWingFlyer]

They should have hung on for just 8 more months. ***hole will be gone then and Clinton will be in prison where she belongs.

[ThunderSleeps]

Exactly. 7+ years of the obama economy. The heartbreaking loss of liberty, freedom, just the fundamental vision of what America is supposed to be about. Gaystapo anyone? The sad state of the world, China and North Korea stirring things up in the western Pacific. Iran and ISIS raging through the middle east. The GOPe working harder against Trump than against any 'rat initiative in the last 20+ years. The prospect that if the GOPe succeeds, we could very well end up with Clinton or Sanders. The shameless politics impacting the Clinton email investigation - how is it that she is not behind bars or hasn't been stood in front of a firing squad yet?

Yeah, lots to be depressed about. But at least in my case I have enough optimist and determined SOB in me to not give up.
