“28.7 million Americans on disability.”
Bullshat, bullshat, bullshat.
Use the 1992 Social Security definition of disabled and see what happens to the problem!!!
When clintoon (the bent one) supposedly ‘ended welfare’ what he actually did was split it up over eighty (80) agencies. No agency took as bad as Social Security. The definition of ‘disabled’ was loosened up to include almost anything.
We are still paying for the eight years of that miserable fool, and probably will until every last thing he did during the eight years he infested the White House is undone.
that’s about $300 billion per year!?!
which is about 10% of our federal spending
holy crap
Check out the attorney listings in the yellow pages and online. Disability services is a HUGE field.
Wow. Just wow.
I had two chance opportunities to observe two “disabled” people recently.
Tall, fit, young men. Articulate, ambulatory and decently dressed in casual clothes and nice new sneakers. But they were explaining to someone how they were just approved for disability.
Why do I bother working? Oh, right, to pay for extended vacations for those who won’t.
It is the Obama agenda. No surprise.
That said, the law gives them an out and why shouldn't they take it.
This is a problem created by the government...not by those who simply take advantage of it.
Change the law...put them to work. Work is what satisfies...not idleness...not this disability crap.
I have been retired many times. Retirement sucks.
Find some work and go at it...life is work!
[ 28,705,000 on Disability ]
And “YOU” thought Social Security was all Old People?...
Think again..
“Disability” has become the new Welfare.
Use to be - if someone claimed disability, it was almost a shameful thing (like Welfare and food stamps once were). Then people began catching on —— and now our government is throwing more money at people not to work.
A dear friend had major heart issues that caused him to have to give up his farm (medical bills plus he could not do the work any more - literally). He filed for disability and was denied - it took paying a lawyer to file appeals to finally get approved... unfortunately, the approval came about the time he passed away from the rapid and sudden onset of lymphoma.
And all of this - while I have met MANY people who are on disability who are far less disabled than I am. My disability... I am obese. I have no diagnosed health conditions that would prevent me from doing my work. If I were in need of doing a very physical job, then I would struggle a bit...
Yet it seems not a day goes by that I don’t meet yet another person (or multiple people) who are drawing unemployment who engage in physical activities that I am unable to do. Who have hobbies that involve everything from hiking, to canoeing and horseback riding - who seem to have plenty of money to do whatever they want, including vacations all over... all at taxpayer expense. People who’s disability is their back (likely one of the more popular now) - yet can out lift me.
Another growing “disability” is related to social awkwardness and/or anxiety. Yes - if you are an anxious person, you too can stay home and draw a check!
“Disability” has just developed into yet another “taker” class of Democrat voters that will forever prevent the US from being able to pay its bills or to have anything resembling a balanced budget.
Our “Greece” moment is inevitable - the only question is “how long before it hits?”
Of course - I go back to another question - what part of the U.S. Constitution says or mandates that the Government is required to pay people who “can’t” work? Is it right next to the article that says the Federal Government is responsible for paying for disaster recovery?
Reparations by any other name. White males N/A.
Communist Obamanation File.
DISMANTLE socialist security. Socialists, frauds, conmen, theives are destroying the U.S.A.
Cloward has since passed on, the Piven woman still lives. Twisted reasoning finds many takers, it might be human nature to beat the system. The downside is when those who DO work and produce, no longer can produce enough.
