Article by NPR on the rise of disability claims.

SSDI is the hot scam right now. Have you “twisted your back”? Are your “eyes going”? Got “carpal tunnel syndrome”? Are your kids “crazy”? Have you become “dependent” on painkillers and alcohol? “Depressed”? Turn on some daytime TV and start writing down the phone numbers of all the sleazy lawyers who will be delighted to help you jump on the SSDI gravy train.

I recommend EVERYBODY look into this. Get back some of those tax dollars you dumped down the government toilet your whole working life before the moochers, bums, deadbeats, and parasites who comprise the Democrat party base gobble it all up.

This is a pretty good article describing what’s going on with disability. Thanks for posting it.

How much do they receive a month? Can they receive additional money for every child on disability? Can husband and wife both receive disability? Can you receive disability and food stamps? Can you receive disability, food stamps and any other benefits? Can you be a make believe pig farmer and receive disability? I think we have socialism, but it just hides in several programs instead of one.

I know a friend of mine who’s a lawyer and whose firm defends a lot of businesses in these types of cases. He is of the opinion that 90% of disability claims are fake. I have no way of knowing if that’s true or not, but this guy is a pretty straight shooter. And after retiring a short time ago after working 40 years with various types of people, I’ve met more than a few whose claims of inability to work due to physical limitations had me and a lot of other people frowning with doubt. And I worked with plenty of people with real physical limitations who worked full-time through the pain.

When welfare was reformed - and people were being helped getting jobs - something had to ‘fill the void’. That became ‘disability’. Whole families and generations collect - just like welfare.

Lawyers advertise to ‘fight for your rights’ ... and they're NOT talking about 1st or 2nd amendment rights, but about ‘gettin’ yours’... The most common approach is ‘mental’ as it's hard to disprove...

Oh - and the ones who use uncontrollable anger as their disability will be recruited by Obama's National Army - or whatever he calls that horror.
