5.4 Million Join Disability Rolls Under Obama

[Luissa]

Idiot the people I speak of are in their 20s, 30s, 40s Not old people.

Did you state that? Do you have proof of that?
My friend is 28 and is on disability, your point?

They can work.

My friend can't, has nothing to do with his age.

Well the big middle finger for this has to go to the government for screwing up our economy so bad that recovery is dragging like a log. Yeah it pisses me off when people get on disability when they are not disabled. I do keep in mind that there are some...perhaps a small percentage that have consistently looked for work but can't find it, have run out their unemployment, and they are in a situation where they have to get creative to stay out of the gutter. I don't like that but I can understand it. "Give a man no options and you give him no choice." I think that's a very small percentage though.

I know several former working moms who after being laid off, opted to stay on unemployment. Human nature? I dunno.

I do love the rights love of going after moms.

Sad thing is, people that shouldn't get disability but get it are only making it bad on the people that really do need it. Just like Unemployment....many NEED to have it, and are just having a hard time find work. And like food stamps...my daughter had it for awhile and she needed it, but got away from it as soon as she could. My son's girlfriends has been trying to get disability...she really does need it and cannot work, but after 2 yrs she's still fighting to get it, she has 3 boys to take care of.

It is hard to get on disability, the OP is a moron.

Well I think that just like anything there are those who use the system for the purpose it was intended and those who use it because they are too lazy to do anything else. I tend to believe the latter outnumbers the former, but given the slow state of recovery there are a ton of people on unemployment who actually do need it and have truly been looking for work. I don't have an issue with those people collecting the benefit.

Now those who say "hey I just scored a year's paid vacation " Yeah they need a kick in the nuts.

The number and gender of her children is completely unrelated. She is either disabled or not.

The population is getting older.

No surprise that there would be more disabled people and more people retiring.

Thanks for reminding us.

[Truthmatters]

aging baby boomers.

You dont have access to peoples medical records so saying they are perfectly capable of working is nothing but a fucking lie

Idiot the people I speak of are in their 20s, 30s, 40s Not old people.

Do you consider age to be a disability?

 

[Full-Auto]

Our country is pretty much doomed...

Just like the mother with 15 kids getting welfare

sad

I know people who have never received food stamps before now they are like; "hey what the hell everybody else gets them why not me" Now they get them. it's like a virus and Obama is spreading the germ

Unfortunately it started before Obama, but under Obama it has increased dramatically.. but you are right..people today don't seem to have the pride they used to and I guess think the money from the Government comes FREE..

It is free...... we are not paying for it. We will never pay for it. I doubt we ever see the debt paid down again. Of course we havent paid it down since 57 so I wouldnt be very optimistic.

Its a well known scam, yes some need it and for that I am glad it is available.

But for you to throw a blanket out there as if it is completely holy and without sin is a laugh of immense proportions.

Actually, I didn't say that, I asked a question. You, on the other hand couched a statement as a question, but just for kicks and grins, I'll pretend like it was an actual question. The answer is no.
Please refrain from lying.

Edit to add,

I asked Chris a question, are you now speaking for him?

 

[Zoom-boing]

The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday that 45 million people in 2011 received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, a 70% increase from 2007. It said the number of people receiving the benefits, commonly known as food stamps, would continue growing until 2014.
