I have a cousin who recently got married. Growing up he had major health problems and had to have several surgeries. Now he is grown and is in pretty good shape.
Well, now that he is married, he no longer works. His new wife used to work for the state of Mass. but now she doesn’t work either. My extended family wondered how they were getting by. The wife said they were surviving on her unemployment, which has since expired.
Now we find out they are BOTH on disability. He because of his health problems from childhood, and she because of depression.
They are always on Facebook talking about where they are going next. They rented a Limo to take them 150 miles to a Dallas Cowboys game, they’ve driven from Texas to California to watch the migration of Monarch Butterflies. They live on constant vacation.
Some in the family are incensed over it, but I just find it amazing that they are able to do that.
This country is lost.....

I’m guessing your cousin and his wife are both big fans of Obama like this one:

I know a guy about 35 - had a good job. Had no problem getting there when he rode with dad. Well, dad took a job in another state. Wasn't a month later, sonny boy got fired for not getting to work on time. Now, after 3 yrs of unemployment, he's 'depressed' and can't move his legs to get out of bed (doesn't stop him from having sex with anything that moves) Oh, ya, and going outside for a smoke.
Trying for disability. Got turned down once, but going for it again.
It's disgusting.
