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.
Government programs never work. There should not be any government program that takes $ from one to give to another. Once you establish that there are certain people who are entitled to take money from taxpayers, it does not end.
Before we had massive government, we had family, neighbors, churches, and private charities, and they all did a fantastic job of helping the poor, the sick, and the disabled. If wealth creation were encouraged in this country and people were allowed to be rich, we would see a tremendous generosity shown towards those who need help.
Private charity is compassionate and it works. Government programs are neither.
