I’ve read it’s over 12 million on disability.
My neighbor is. She gets medicare (or medicade - one of them).
She can’t work be she can cut the grass, trim weeds, trim shrubs/trees, wash and wax her boyfriend’s jeep and truck, and on, and on, and on.
Her dad can give (nice) houses away to his kids but not care for his own child.
Meh, let the tax payer handle that.
I’ve paid into this rotten system for 43 years (some years the max).
Sell d@mn Yellowstone Park if they have to..
It is the veritable invasion of the disability leeches. Lawyers have convinced them for the meager sum of 1/3 of your disability payments, they can contrive some excuse and back it up with legalism, fake doctors and persistence for that big free government ride.
This rise in applicants came about from those unemployed who maxed out their unemployment and got used to SNAP, EITC, Section 8, AFDC and all the rest and are willing to give some shyster lawyer firm a cut of the booty so they can get on that damned gravy train.
