I’m doing some business with a guy who owns a bunch of those distribution/warehouse complexes (with the semi-truck back-up bays) by the highway onramps.
He can hire a basically unlimited number of $10/hour warehouse floor assistants. It’s 50 cents more an hour than fast food or Wal-Mart pays around him, and it lets dudes feel a lot more self-respect (hard-hats and steel toed shoes, not name tag and hair net, no having to deal with fat housewives screaming at them in the aisle or at the register).
When he advertises his $100,000 a year jobs — general manager of a facility, head of IT for the company, head of marketing for the company — he’ll get hundreds of resumes from literally all around the world. Most of the resumes are cr*p, but he still usually has five very qualified people at least for every one spot.
It’s in between that kills him. Support desk to work for that IT director, a secretary for that head of marketing, a shift supervisor for the floor workers who can actually read the day’s manifests and the Excel sheets that plan work flow. What kills him, specifically, is government money. Grossly overpaid pink and blue collar government jobs are impossible to compete with, and SSDI is a huge factor: it’s basically become an early retirement program (as in, mid-40s sometimes) for any blue-collar guy who can follow his lawyer’s script. He also tells me that they end up getting combined — the guys go out on SSDI and their wives are working as secretaries for the school district.
Nailed it!
Obama fraudulently enrolled a huge number of people directly off of unemployment and onto SSDI after their 99 weeks of extended benifits ran out.
Around seven million able bodied , unemployed workers were fraudulently enrolled in SSDI, more than doubling the number of people on SSDI before Obama took office.
Obama was able to do this under the radar screen because there was a SSDI “Trust Fund” of IOU’s the program wrote to the government in times of surplus and Obama has raided the SSDI Trust Fund Lock Box and treated it like his own little off the book slush fund. He cashed in all the IOU s and blown through the “trust funds” so the SSDI Trust Fund is now bankrupt.
Obama expertly timed the bankrupting of the SSDI fund to coincide with the the exact month he leaves office so there is a looming funding crisis of the 13 million SSDI recipients as the fund runs out the end of 2016
Here's the bad news for the people who choose the disability scam.
They have been out of the workforce for almost 8 years and most of the disabilities justifications were for nebulous and hard to prove “ mental disability” .
The combination of claims of mental disability, the 8 year gap in employment history and the suspicion that that person has committed disability fraud is going to make these 7 million people Obama enrolled in SSDI permanently unemployable.
They are also going to be sen as having been stealing money set aside for the most vulnerable, at risk and legitimately needy members of our society - the profoundly handicapped and disabled members of our society
We are already in seriuos economic trouble and dumping 7 million SSDI recipients on the streets with no way to pay for them is going to a heck of a mess
God help me, but I truly despise the the profoundly destructive people in the Obama Administraion for what they have done to this country but I never cease to be amazed at how they keep their propaganda going and hide their agenda and malfeasance form the American people. .
