Be careful not to lump truly disabled people into that group or another group you disapprove of. I worked from age 14 on up, but after 7 back surgeries, a brain surgery, knee surgery, and 3 surgeries to implant pain pumps, there is no way I can be a reliable employee to anyone. I have no family, so it’s either live on the streets or be on disability. Believe me there isn’t a day that goes by when I don’t miss working. I loved my job.
“Be careful not to lump truly disabled people into that group or another group you disapprove of. “
I agree with you, but let’s not let the ‘politics of division’ divide us here at FR It’s a good bet that most if not all here feel that we should be a compassionate society that helps those in need. You clearly fit that bill, and deserve our help. The problem is 1) with those who game the system, and 2) those motivated by resentment of people who have more money and ‘things’ than them.
The democrats have been the primary purveyors of class warfare, and if Romney is smart he will turn this around on them.
Your disabilities and injuries are very real and I am not lumping you in with the people who do not deserve disability.
I was talking about people with NO physical disabilities at all. This is why we can’t fix this country. If anyone mentions cutting back on any part of the gummint gravy, someone always jumps up and says “But, I REALLLY need it!” and the discussion has to end.
I guess we really don’t need to discuss cuts anymore because the crash of the economy is coming and when that happens, all the checks are going to stop flowing because we were afraid to make hard decisions when we could.
