Why is this so “startling”? Its yet another way for lazy people to live off the public teat. The government winks and nods and finds people disabled who aren’t and the Welfare State expands. I have one in my own family. He’s been “disbled” for 10 years yet for the life of me I can’t figure out why he can’t do a job that doesn’t involve heavy manual labor. He doesn’t even try to look for work and has zero shame in spending his life collecting a government check. I get so angry I can’t go to certain family functions where I will have to be around him for a long time.
yes, I have one in my family who claims to have chronic fatigue syndrome along with a degree from one of America’s “best” liberal private colleges, smokes pot and cigarettes like a dam chimney and collects a government check.
