“”are flooding Social Security’s disability program, pushing the financially strapped system toward the brink of insolvency. Applications are up nearly 50 percent over a decade ago as people lose their jobs and can’t find new ones in an economy that has shed nearly 7 million jobs.””
What on earth does being unemployed have to do with being able to draw disability from Social Security? I realize the entire government is run by the “disabled” but this does not make any sense at all.
It doesn’t make sense to give SS to illegals either.....but they do.
Lotta scammers out there, and plenty of docs who'll go along with it. I know a woman who's been collecting full disability for years b/c the stress of commuting 60 miles each way from our town to DC for ten years was just too much for her.
