Occupy freeloaders can get a check in the mail.
All part of Barry the Kenyan Guy’s “Hope and Change” program. When unemployment runs out, the next step is disability. What a country! Ain’t this Nanny State crap grand?!
I have a friend who is a Wisconsin Workers Compensation judge. He told me recently that he is seeing a lot of younger workers coming in for hearings on their WC claims that are already on Social Security disability. This is new in two ways, more young as these people were usually older in the past and second, they already are on it. Usually WC claim hearings come before one gets S.S. disability so, it looks like SS is fast tracking disability claims—being very generous and very fast compared to the past.
This is bad news to working taxpayers as the SSDI fund is broke and is now tapping the federal general revenues to pay claim. More federal debt and spending.
I’m sure many people are legitimately “disabled” but for a large segment of the population disability is just another path to getting money for doing nothing.
Greece is just around the corner, isn’t it?
When is the Regime going to start running commercials advertising the availability of SSDI?
and America takes another one in the........ Well, guilty as charged your honors. Of course, it took two strokes and congestive heart failure to “become” disabled, but I am one of the statistics. Minding my own business, went back to school for my teaching certificate and the next thing I know I wake up in the hospital.
I felt bad applying, too, let me tell you. Until I went to the local Social Security office to do so. Not meaning to stereotype but I thought I was on the wrong side of town and at the welfare office. Thought maybe some of them were there to get a replacement card until you hear them ask for disability paperwork.
This one girl with no visible disability and only 20 told the SS worker that she’d never worked a day in her life and that she couldn’t work ever. Funny but it hadn’t prevented her from procreating as she had two toddlers in tow.
Not much of a surprise.
Turn on Jerry Springer or similar daytime program.
Half the adverts are SSDI attorneys.
“You’ve paid into the system all your life, now’s the time to collect what you’re due”
“No fee until your case is settled”
Taxpayer funded unemployment benefits are the new temporary welfare.
Taxpayer funded disability benefits are the new permanent welfare.
The are lawyers who specialize in getting folks on disability. And they are good at what they do.
“A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing, always to be followed by a dictatorship, then a monarchy.”
