RE: Now I know there are people who do suffer life changing disabilities and need that safety net; but also see many more who abuse the system.
OK, can someone please explain to me the SUDDEN SURGE in life changing disabilities?
I’ll give it a try :)
My oldest sister worked 3 jobs her entire adult life. Having no college education and was just really good at working hard at whatever job she could get ie. factory/cashier/counter help. At the ripe old age of 52 she suffered crushing back problems which prevented her from being able to do any of the entry level jobs she had relied on. Took over 3 years to get her any disability benefits and it did take getting a lawyer involved.
The whole system is rotten from top to bottom. Being at the offices and watching the stream of people with kids in tow, signing up for every freebie our benevolent government doles out, was damn depressing.
