What happens when 99'ers fall of unemployment

I would have guessed that as the boomers age and pass through the system and as obesity creeps in and more people end up with diabetes etc... you're going to see a considerable spike in the percentage of people with disabilities, but 260%?
 
BI guy strikes again.. he doesn't have a clue who.could or how to change - just knows your ideas are wrong

I have seen people go on disability through SS that I think can work. If you go see a Dr. and they write you a letter then you can get it approved. It is a bad system.

To me going from unemployment paycheck to disability makes little sense for most.
 
Well, if there's a scam in there that involves getting money for not working, my mother-in-law will be all over it. I've never seen someone work so hard at not working.
 
Illegal immigrants steal identiies and yes they get SS disability. Illegal immigrants know how to work the system better then anyone. They have groups that show them how and what to do.....it is the worst best kept secret.
 
You can go to 19 doctors that say you're fine but if doctor #20 says you are disabled, then you are disabled. The system rewards in so many ways rewards people for not working and penalizes (through more taxes) the people that work. And we wonder why our economy doesn't bounce back. Why should it? We reward those that don't bounce.
 
My job, too, puts me in frequent contact with people that I KNOW are lying and exaggerating to get SS disability for the most bogus of reasons. I catch them lying in various ways, including surveillance, and the jury naturally throws out their bogus lawsuits against my clients (at great expense, however,--well, to us, but not to them, being on contingency fee with their lawyer), yet they go on about their merry way collecting SS forever into the future, working on their next scam.

The "pain" doctors enable this ("specialists" in treating subjective pain, who do not attempt to heal or cure--and would lose the patient if they did), and the other regular doctors cop out from the physical problems (which cannot be proved objectively) by either: 1) calling it a "pain syndrome" such as RSD, CRPS, etc. and giving the addict what they want; or 2) prescribing all sorts of anti-anxiety/depression/sleeping pills, etc.; or 3) referring to a pain doctor or psych who'll do the dirty work for them.
 
I noticed in one of Paul Ryan's plans he wanted the creation of a dept devoted strictly to finding fraud and stopping it.
Fraud happens in each gov't Dept but no dept is really equipped or has the will to stop it.
if we could eliminate most of the fraud there would be plnety of money to help those who really need it.

In addition to getting SSI these people will also get SNAP ( food stamps) and more

Think they will vote to put in a gov't that would tighten rules?
 
The best is when some of my foster kids that have been physically abused and neglected finally get to go home to their parents. Within a month I get a 12 page SSI packet to fill out about how messed up the kid is. What a great system: abuse your child, state raises child at state's expense, govt gives you money for caring for your kid when you get it back. I especially love the moms that take drugs when they are prego then get ssi for their kid having issues.
