Quoting: Anonymous Coward 60927094 How do you guarantee that you know half the people on disability don't deserve it? So, you are saying that you KNOW ALL the people on disability? Seems kind of doubtful. I'm not the AC you're responding to, but I for one can say I know at least a dozen people on disability and only 1 is even close to legit. The other 11 are for drug addictions, alcoholism, PTSD and "bad" backs and knees due to morbid obesity. Don't lie, your experiences are the same as the rest of us. For ever 1 legitimately broken human being we know another 10 on disability solely for the gibs. Why do you know so many losers? I know exactly one person on disability and they most definitely should be on it. i know (not closely) three people who are on disability for mental illness issues and while you might think all of them cld work, with one of them the only time the person is safe to be around is when medicated and the medication renders the person too tired to function and when not on meds = crazytown dangerous ... the other two one might think cld work, but one gets bad bouts of debilitating depression, depite medication, which wld interfere with any job and the other can be aggresive nasty bitchy personality wise in-between apologizing for behavior that i dont see how anyone wld keep the person employed ... way too unstable and unpleasant to be around (maybe bc never learned boundaries or as a result of drugs done when younger or life or bc underlying personality disorder, idk) hving had infections which crossed blood brain barrier and caused erratic neuro-psych symptoms myself, i cannot imagine living like that my entire life. i really feel badly for these people, but i dont want to be around them (wld be different if you loved someone though as long as they werent destructive to your life), not for any extended amount of time .... wld not want to work with someone like that ... responding angrily without knowing why when normally you are a laid back chill person ... and not really being able to stop oneself from those negative impulses which wldnt even happen normally is not easy to deal with at all ... being like that ones whole life? not good....must be really hard (if they are able to be aware of it) ... one of these people was a cleaning lady for me for awhile ... i cld not put up with her, so if i cldnt put up with someone like that doing a cleaning job, how is someone like that going to hv stable employment (i generally give people a long lead and am pretty understanding) it is not easy for these folks to get on disability and the money is not much at all, esp. if they didnt work or work long enough to get ssd vs. ssi. we shld actually be providing MORE for these people, not less. "The fundamental question of our time is whether the West has the will to survive. ... Our own fight for the West does not begin on the battlefield — it begins with our minds, our wills, and our souls... Americans, Poles, and the nations of Europe value individual freedom and sovereignty. We must work together to counter forces, whether they come from inside or out, from the South or the East, that threaten over time to undermine these values and to erase the bonds of culture, faith and tradition that make us who we are. I am here today not just to visit an old ally, but to hold it up as an example for others who seek freedom and who wish to summon the courage and the will to defend our civilization." ~President Donald J Trump "...sometimes, you have to be a high-riding bitch to survive. Sometimes, being a bitch is all a woman has to hang onto." ~Vera Donovan "Pain or damage don't end the world, or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man-and give some back." ~Al Swearengen "Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet." ~Mattis |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 69058933 United States 05/22/2017 05:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am for doing good to the poor, but...I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. I observed...that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer. Quoting: LunaticFringe Benjamin Franklin I am all for slashing it, but I am part of the ULTRA poor that NEEDS THIS to survive. I have always tried to work where I can but with a horrific economy - (IE there being less and less in the way of entry level JOBS and the problem is only getting WORSE not better) I dont see how people LIKE ME and mine will make it. this is LITTERALLY KILLING OFF a portion of the population that DEPENDS on this. |

They can build their own retirement just like the rest of us. Can you do me a favor? Can you look at this graph and tell me what it tells you? [link to www.msnbc.com] Yes, I sure can...it tells me the private sector got ##ucked, while the government grew at the private sectors expense. And now...the private sector is trying oh so hard to climb out of the ##hit hole, but keeps getting drawn back because the government sector doesn't want to let go. Why? Because it (Government) can not survive without the private sector taking it in the ###ss & handing over money. How'd I do? The private will still get fucked My TAXES never go down, they just take the cuts and shuffle it to the wealthy |

Special education is already underfunded and there is little school choice for children with special needs. Charters hate to have student with low incidents needs, because these children are a financial drain on the system. The regular public schools where low incident children with special needs attend, receive Medicaid payments to cover services such as Applied Behavioral Analysis(ABA) speech, OT, PT, music therapies. This is most likely where the medicare payout is most likely to be cut too. |

Should just crack down on the idiots buying all the junk food imo. Thoughts? I would like to see all the disability claims reduced to 1/3 of current levels. I would just like to see them do away with disability on minor children. Disability should be for people who are of adult age who cannot work - not for all the Asperger's/autistic, ADHD, behaviorally disordered, etc. children in the country. All this does is give the parents an incentive to keep their kids at home once they hit adulthood rather than working/training for work because the parents want to keep pocketing the monthly check. |
