Éireann User ID: 18417808 United States 06/26/2012 07:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you mean they 'ought' to work, or they 'should' work? Clearly, they don't 'need' to work. Some people really are disabled and can't work. This is a nightmare - no doubt. A lot of very sick people are going to suffer even more than they are now. I know a number of people on disability that shouldn't really be on it. I don't understand how they decide what is and isn't a disability. Eireann~ I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. - Galatians 2:20 |

If you problem keeps you from getting hired or if hired being able to hold on to a job, that's a good reason right there. The same people that bitch about people that are on disability are the same people that bitch that they miss to much work or can't pull their weight with the team. When you look at it like that, it's easy to understand. Jobs are demanding more and more out of people and some people are in a lot of pain (or other things). People can't always see what's going on but if someone is unreliable because of their condition, how are they suppose to hold a job? People think you have to be a quadraparlegic or something. Just the other day, someone posted that a nurse that performs abortions should be fired because she's a sociopath? Really? What other field would they like this person to go into, then because that's probly the best field for someone like that! If you don't want to have your tax dollars paying for your co-worker that you don't think is as good as you--then quit trying to get them fired! Stop bitchin'. |

Just know that much. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15359896 Totally agree.Anyone has a good day here and there.Just because someone is looking okay today doesnt mean they are able to work 8 hours tomorrow or even 2 hours. You can even LOOK fine at the grocery store but all of the movements and lifting and everything else can be so painful by the time you get home you can barely put them away let alone do any house chores or anything else but if you can't meet someone for lunch and they saw you shopping earlier they think your using it as an excuse--they have absolutely NO idea and you can't make them understand. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 19338703 United States 07/08/2012 03:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My thoughts on this is that it's ALREADY impossible to live on SSDI if you make the minimum amount ($678). And they plan to cut THAT by 21%??? They will FORCE people into becoming thieves. And then the thieves will end up in jail, costing the taxpayers FAR more than SSDI ever dreamed of. |

Ohhh... brother. The FEDS are the ones who have robbed SS blind! And the REAL rate of inflation is ALREADY far above the yearly increases in SSDI. In fact, for two years straight, inflation continued to rise, and SSDI payments STAYED the same. And then when they DO finally raise it again, it's by a ridiculous 2.3 percent. After 3 YEARS! |
