Trapped with $700 or less a month to pay all bills for the rest of your life. Not even allowed to save any money. Good luck ever moving or buying even a dirt cheap home in the middle of no where. Find a way to earn more money with less stress. At age 31 you've still got lots of time. |

Well, working in the mental health I learned a good bit about how "the system" works. Apparently (at least in PA) a person on disability can still work part time, as long as he/she doesn't earn over a certain amount (I can't recall the exact figure). The fact is, I don't think I could ever bring myself to pull out an Access/Food Stamp card at a store, I'd be too ashamed. But the thought has crossed my mind. |

Most get denied the first time and have to appeal it. I have seen cases that take years and some are denied. Don't bank on it for simple depression and anxiety disorder. SO SO SO many people have these 2 diagnoses today...and are successfully continuing to work. You will have a difficult time convincing a board of mental health professionals who oversee these types of cases that you are too disabled not to work. |

I have no qualms with those people who are doing their best, and truly are trying to get back on their feet. It's the people leeching off the system I have a problem with. I couldn't be one of those people. I wasn't raised that way. |

The last conversation you will want to have is what do you do, 'I collect welfare, disability'. Depression, anxiety is not legitimate for a disability, every human goes through depressive situations and experiences anxiety. Having a job may open doors to better opprotunities. Don't be lazy, just live humble and enjoy the small things in life and find put what your co workers do in thier freetime and spend time with them because thier lifestyle will fit with yours from now on. |

A republican is a racist because they are against a safety net that has become a life style? Or because they don't like Obama? Most Republicans I know support men like Hermain Cain, Allan West, or women like Mia Love. But we are racist if we dont vote for Obama's Marxist policies? Maybe its others who are racist against whites. Im flipping that argument on every leftie that pulls the race card on me. Im sick of being told Im a racist if I dont like the lefts agenda.
