“Under the social security disability program, people are getting money they are entitled to that has been taken out of their paychecks over the years,” he said. “It’s disingenuous to call it a hand-out.”

Call it a scam if you want but it is an insurance program just like any other privately held policy. The problem lies in the unusual definition of 'disability' as pointed out in the article that includes non medical issues.

SSDI (disability) is not the same as SSI and are often confused.

Consider if you were involved in an automobile accident and turned in an insurance claim to your insurer, should you feel guilty??? I don't think you would,after all that is what you paid for.

OK.
The second most stupid statement of the decade.

To compare anything the government conjures up, call it insurance, and compare it to the traditional concept of commercial insurance, where the size of the premiums are set proportional to the risk, and pre-existing conditions are NEVER covered (for those in Rio Linda, can't collect on a house fire if the premium is paid AFTER the fire.)

That comparison is like saying Trayvon is as smart as Einstein, because they are both called homo sapiens...

That it is called "insurance" is a sick joke, that only an arrogant criminal government can pull off; and only a moron would actually believe with a straight face!
