Social Security wasn’t in trouble enough to begin with , now Obaam sends those who’s unemployment has run out to the Social Security disability rolls.

How are we going to survive this Muslim MF’er and his corrupt administration?

Another 4 years? I dread the thought.

Additional Note: To get Federal funds for Medicare each state has to come up with a share of matching funds. The average of the matching percentage is 43 percent for all states. So California’s $11.7 billion Medicaid program increase would require the state to come up with $5.0 billion in matching funds ($11.7 billion x 0.43 = $5.0). So it is Medicaid, not public education, that is busting California’s General Fund budget.

Something which irks me about these reports, is their failure to distinguish between SSDI and SSI. If folks go on SSDI, they receive Medicare, not Medicaid. SSI is a disability program with much looser requirements, for low income folks. SSI has a different funding stream, not from the SSA.

All part of the Cloward-Piven mandate to "overwhelm the system."

Parking 1.5 million formerly employable people on SS Disability has lowered the official national and California unemployment rates. This is a strategy borrowed from former British Prime Minister Tony Blair when he came into office in 1997 to make the unemployment rate look better.
