The Democrats are working as hard and as fast as they can to buy votes using disability and agent orange compensation. They always seem to find a way to use other peoples money to achieve their objectives. We all probably know someone that is receiving disability compensation yet they seem to be able to do whatever they want to do.
I know a guy that is receiving agent orange compensation to the tune of over $3000 per month. It is higher than his social security check. His wife will be eligible to receive half of his OA money for the rest of her life if he predeceases her. The closest that he got to agent orange in Vietnam was spending five nights in an air conditioned hotel in Saigon while waiting to be transferred to his ship off the coast of Vietnam. What a joke. Oh, he has serious health problems, but not because of agent orange. He just started getting the payments. Obama in action. Buy as many votes as you can.
so ss will go broke even faster than previously announced. good going baroke obummer
It used to be that the lawyers around here ran adverts on tv ambulance chasing car wrecks.
Now they’re all looking for Social Security disability clients.
“You’ve paid into the system all your working life, now it’s time to collect the benefits you deserve”
“No fees until your case is resolved”
Of course I have no data or anything to support this theory, but I think the 0bama adminstration is figuring that anyone on disability is a potential vote to re-elect him, so they are being very light on requirements to qualify for disability.
Re: “Disability Outranks New Jobs”
Get used to it.
This is just a foretaste of what will happen if we try to “solve” the Social Security and Medicare crisis by raising the retirement age.
Keep seniors in the workforce until age 70?
Then also plan on this...
(1) Dramatic increase in work injury claims.
(2) Dramatic increase in age related discrimination lawsuits.
(3) Dramatic increase in business crushing age discrimination laws.
(3) Dramatic increase in government agencies and bureaucrats to “help and protect” working seniors.
This makes it seem that is so easy to collect SS disability.
I had an accident at work in July 2006, ended up having five major surgeries in three years.
Declared disabled at 50%, but cannot collect because even though I have the right amount of quarters, not enough fall in the ten years before I was injured. (A real slight towards stay at home mom’s who go back to work).
Nope, can’t work because my injuries don’t allow me to work in my career field and don’t have experience else where.
((((sigh))))
So I wonder how all these people even are able to collect?
“The economy created just 80,000 jobs in June, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported Friday. But that same month, 85,000 workers left the workforce entirely to enroll in the Social Security Disability Insurance program, according to the Social Security Administration.
The disability ranks have outpaced job growth throughout President Obama’s economic recovery. While the economy has created 2.6 million jobs since June 2009, fully 3.1 million workers signed up for disability benefits.
In other words, the number of new disability enrollees has climbed 19% faster than the number of new jobs created during the sluggish recovery.
And the disability ranks will continue to swell. In just the last month, almost 275,000 put in applications for disability benefits. Experts say that more people try to get on disability when jobs are scarce, and changes to eligibility rules enacted back in 1984 have made it far easier to qualify.”
Incredible. Have your video taking devices ready to expose these blood suckers doing whatever, while claiming they can’t work.
Then, put the videos on You Tube.
I looked, but could not find that statistic. Can it really be held back till after November?
Ever wonder why the black unemployment rate was so high?
The nation’s workforce expanded by 189,000 in June, 85,000 were added to social security’s disability rolls while only 80,000 unemployed found jobs, and Obama calls it a “step in the right direction”. Anyone who thinks he deserves another four years must be getting all their news from MSNBC.
