Many many ADHD kids receive SSI benefits of $579.00 per month (you tax dollars) for having ADHD or some other "learning disability."

Are you joking? Where did you hear about this?

Too true, known in the welfare community as 'crazy money', Mothers encourage their children to act out. No obligation on the parent to even use the money for their child.

I know one of these moms. She's actually my sister in law. She taught her daughter (who has no disability other than being a lazy, overweight couch potato) how to work the system to get her deadbeat pay. So sad when your only goal in life is to sit around and watch tv on someone elses dime. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night if I did this. I would feel so ashamed!

"Crazy checks" have been all the vogue since 1992. Since that time, billions have been given to "slow learners," etc., as well as those kids suffering from maladies like "oppositional defiant disorder."

I believe there is a little more to the diagnosis of ADHD than just acting out.

Your hysterical and somewhat funny comments meet the criteria of those that might be spoken by a true Howard Dean Democrat.
