Ladies, Gentlemen, other... it is only going to get worse. The economy is not getting all that much better no matter how much government is trying to spend and we have a significant level of people, baby boomer generation, moving into the realm of social security. 34%-35% of the population getting "wages" or "income" or from the government is only the beginning. I'd expect to hit 40% or more within the next 5 years, easy. With a nice debt to go along with it.
