I agree. It’s amazing how often “disabled” translates into “I can’t work but I can still party like a rock star. Therefore, give me monthly checks in perpetuity.”

I agree. It's disgusting how much taxpayer $$ is given to the "disabled" in this country (by that I mean those who aren't truly disabled).

This has GOT to stop somehow. There needs to be case-by-case investigations of everyone on "Disability" to see if they're truly needy. Enough is enough.

Nearly 30% of today’s Social Security expenditures go to people who are below retirement age. My entire adult life, I have been told that Social Security will remain in the black until 2017. But with this President, it went into the red seven years ahead of schedule. If Social Security is to be saved in any way, shape, or form, we must return it to what it was originally intended to be - a program for retirees only.
