Since when is SSDI a fraud? Did you stop to think that the help one gets with that program could possibly help that person to become at least partially employed again?

LOL...He’s been back on his feet for many years. It did help him to get back on his feet and he’s more than partially employed. He is no longer disabled. That’s what shocked me. Because he is black he felt it was his right to continue that support by SSDI.

“Since when is SSDI a fraud?”

When it is used to facilitate substance abuse. During the Clinton administration such fraud was rampant. There were several articles in the WSJ back then. One prominent fraud where chronic alcoholics receiving SSDI had their checks mailed to the local bar.

Living in a shelter will motivate someone to get employed again, if he/she wants to work.

If someone needs help, why don’t their families help them?
If they aren’t worth their families help, why should I help them?
Let them live in a shelter and maybe they’ll get some motivation to help themselves.
