The Social Security disability program -- intended for the chronically ill -- is morphing into a new form of welfare dependency discouraging nonelderly adults from finding jobs.

Nina Easton was always a reliable ‘Leftist talking points’ commenter on Brit Hume/Bret Baier’s FoxNews show. I think she awakened about the time the Union thugs were harassing a Maryland corporate executive (sorry I can't remember which one) by invading his yard, screaming and carrying signs. I believe the only one home at the time was a son. I suspect she is still part of the loony Left, but may actually care about the destruction of our once great country.

By the way, she had major work this summer and her last appearance looked so young she was hard to recognize. She is not comfortable in her own skin

Women AND men in the media do that to stay on tv. Brit Hume also looks pretty good for 68.

They also prevent recovery, since alcoholics and heroin addicts are eligible for “benefits”.

“”Employers who complain that they can’t find qualified workers - Utter BS!””

You’re not paying attention. Employers in the manufacturing sector have been on the news recently emphasizing this very problem.

One company in MI has 200 openings to fill and is unable to find anyone qualified. That company said if someone comes in the door with skills and qualifications, they hire them on the spot even if they don’t have an opening for their particular skills at that time.

It IS a big problem and one we can thank the public school system for. Manufacturing jobs have been stigmatized and young people would rather go without jobs than LOWER themselves. I suppose “public service” is more rewarding but I guess they can’t find work in that field either.

They could always go to college, run up debts, attend law school and then they could run for president. No experience OR SKILLS necessary.

Here is the source of some of this BS!

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43465034/ns/business-eye_on_the_economy/t/funding-scarce-training-new-hires/#.TmJKlywZFzA

"Darlene Miller, CEO of Permac Industries in South Burnsville, Minn., said the days are long gone when a new hire could learn how to operate machinery on the job. Miller said she would add another half-dozen workers to her payroll of 38 workers — if she could find people skilled at operating the high-tech equipment she recently purchased to boost productivity.

"We just can't afford to take the time and the money to hire and someone to just shadow someone else and learn hands-on," she said. "The equipment is just too high-tech to do that."

Miller is a member of President Barack Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, which recently announced a goal of turning out an additional 10,000 American engineers annually by leaning on the private sector to boost university funding, add internships and create other incentives.

"These are the jobs of the future. These are the jobs that China and India are cranking out," Obama said in a visit to a Durham, N.C., lighting factory last week. "And we’re falling behind in the very fields we know are going to be our future."

Yes, and this quote (Liberalism is a Mental Disorder) is one of the classic ones from Dr. Savage.

You know, I use to fax him and have the honor of him reading some of my glibs back in the KSFO days very early on when he knew me as "Brian of Bishop Ranch". Anyway, I know folks rip him a lot, but he was one of the pioneers of conservative talk radio, and his voice was SO WELCOMED when he initially aired on KGO and then moved to KSFO (belly of the beast) ... folks would turn up the volume of their car radios to drive the libs NUTS in S.F. ...

He actually read an ENTIRE post of mine one time, "The Democratic Party is a Cult" (early 1990's). He would take to the time to consider the thoughts of his listeners (even though he would scream and shout a lot during his broadcast, whe was actually a real soft heart, a wonderful soul - AND HE STILL IS!) ...

I say, he should be appreciated more for his HISTORIC contributions to the voice of conservative talk radio, a long with one of the very early contributors Dr. Stuart McBirnie and the "Voice of Americanism" out of Glendale California.

I am getting old now, but we were called "Anti-Communists". Not sure if any of you young folks know what that means, and how hard we fought for America, and later for Ronald Reagan. Anyway ...
