They are giving our SSI to mental defectives and lazy people who sign up with mental health agencies. They buy cigarettes with it.
I drive these people to their appointments for a living. You'd be appalled. Once they spend their SSI on booze and liquor they are back in the hospital, and ultimately into my van.
But you and me don't get Social Security, maybe ever. That's why.
My brother works in an ER. One transient has accumulated over $1 million in hospital ER visits and treatment alone. He goes out, lives on the streets, gets drunk for weeks on end, finally collapses, is transported to the ER by ambulance, gets treatment until he is capable of transfer to a detox center, gets detoxed, goes to a halfway house, gets out, and proceeds back to step one. He's done this for several years, and of course, has never paid for any of it. BTW, the $1 million is only hospital and in hospital treatment costs. Costs to the ambulance company, detox centers, and halfway houses is maintained by those entities.
