“Social Security helps not only retirees but also roughly 9 million of people suffering from disabilities.”
Remember when clintoon claimed to have “ended welfare as we know it”? Turn the disability rules back to the rules of 1991 and see how quickly the problem fixes itself.
Yes folks, a huge drain on the Social Security Disability fund is actually just more welfare - most of it for people that are perfectly capable of working.
I agree that there is fraud. But are you suggesting that more than 50% of SSDI recipients are able-bodied and can work? I know several men who worked in the trades and their bodies just quit on them. SSDI is for people like this.
