Yes, of course there will be. The nation is already $18 Trillion in debt. No one wants to be a "bad guy" - so what's a few more $billions?
Hell will freeze over before they allow SS Disability to get cut. They might make it more difficult to get on Disability, and be more stringent about people staying on it, but they SURE as hell won’t cut it.
That only makes sense. Someone shouldn’t be allowed to access disability, unless they ARE in fact truly disabled, and people that get on it who eventually may no longer be disabled, shouldn’t remain on it. Liberals would call be a cruel, heartless bastard for making those VERY reasonable suggestions. lol
Are they, I have heard that when the 99 week unemployment ran out, labor told them to go to the SS office and apply for disability benefits. Just a pain in your back will do it, I personally know some of these people.
I want to know how many new disabled recipients since BO has taken over, pretty sure they used SSDI to overwhelm the system and they did, no more money in 2 years?
No, I don’t think they’ll wait till the lame duck. The vote yesterday basically confirms what most of us sensed: the gop has done the political calculus and decided that they can do just fine without conservatives. It was a not at all subtle invitation for any remaining conservatives to get the f*** out. So I doubt they’ll even bother to go through the charade of waiting till the next lame duck. There’s no longer any need to keep up appearances.
