Republicans need to clear out 90% of the Social Security “disability” payments. It’s going to the same folks who used to get welfare -

OTOH, the average life expectancy of black males is about 65. Thats a whole swath of people looking to get "theirs" through the back door.

Lower class whites are on the bandwagon too. Look at the TV ads for lawyers who will get you disability. I believe it's automatic for the HIV virus - even though gays with HIV live as long as anyone else. And it's a shoe-in for drug addicts and people with violent tempers. Really, to make honest seniors work another five years so drug addicts don't have to steal as much is an outrage.

Bull. The average age thing looks dramatic until you take a closer look. Turns out more blacks die in infancy - drug abusing mothers... mothers too young to have children - mothers without husbands... That takes a toll. White lower class women who make the same choices also hurt their offspring. But the numbers are higher for blacks.

Then factor in higher than average black teen crime, inadequate parenting, sexual promiscuity with higher rates of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases, teen gang membership, longer criminal records ( yeah - crime is a dangerous occupation) and a picture starts to emerge.

If a black man works his whole life - at a legal job - and has on average the same marital history - and retires - his life expectancy isn't that much different than a while male who does the same.

So it's you, nonstatist who needs to get real...
