Senate report highlights Social Security disability benefit abuses

Same here. Family members (by marriage) who are able bodied, sound of mind, and yet have reached the mature age of early 30's with no job experience, no resume and have always been given a "check".

Dumb as posts, yet very shrewd at working the system.

I will tell you this: They view themselves as "smart", "shrewd", because they have beaten the system. They are so smart and shrewd they consider us "suckers" for working and providing for families.

We do not dare "disrespect" them either, or they will bring down popular attitude upon us. They are after all, "disabled".
