So do most of us.
Gotta do something when the unemployment runs out.
I swear you would think the whole damn country was disabled.
Obama's also destroying the system for people who really are disabled... When the dependent ones of Detroit etc collapse Social Security Disability, they'll just move on to the next scam. People who really are disabled or the elderly who can't work - and don't have family members - will die... Thanks Obama...for nothing.
Disability is THE newest welfare crippler. I CANNOT turn on the tv or the radio without seeing another cser piece of filth explaining “I want to work, but I’m on disability.” Bums, beggars, and sub-human pieces of filth all. I worked in an orthopaedic surgeon’s office in Houston in the early 90s. Each and every single one of the csers on disability even then was a welfare begging, lying, piece of lazy filth. Why should anything have changed?
2+ million of the improvement in the unemployment numbers is really just a 2+ million increase in those on disability
what it really means is that 2+ million unemployed people said to themselves -
“shit, this unemployment thing is going to run out and Obama ain’t making no new jobs for me; I need something that lasts longer than unemployment benefits; oh, yea, I should get on disability, that can last forever!!!”
That’s to cut down the unemployment numbers.
That’s disabled FOR LIfFE.
The other problem is people who really need the use of their “insurance” can’t get it.
my wife worked until the doctors told her it’d kill her and her employer was no longer willing to assume the risk of something happening to her at work.
She has fibro, neropathy, very hard to control type 1 (she has a pump that helps) and several learning disorders that makes it very hard for her to learn new trades even if someone was willing to risk her being injured in their work place.
Shes been waiting over a year for a hearing. The lawyer says be ready to wait up to TWO more years.
And even then, who knows if there will be money to pay the case if she wins, or if she wins at all.
