Double-amputee veteran Tammy Duckworth rips contractor’s
twisted ankle ‘disability’ claim.


{Note To Cic, L4Life & Henry.  Don't bother watching the video... you won't get it.}

Appearing Wednesday to testify before a House committee, the owner of a military IT contracting
company was lectured and shamed by Rep. Tammy Duckworth, an Iraq veteran and double
amputee who grilled him about a military disability claim he filed 27 years after twisting his ankle
in prep school.



(Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth served as a U.S. Army helicopter pilot and suffered severe
combat wounds, losing both of her legs and damaging her right arm while in combat in Iraq.)


The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

WOW she ripped him a new you know what.   Good for her !!! There are those who serve who don't go overseas and get injured, for example someone working with explosives might lose hearing etc. But a twisted ankle, no.

We need someone like her to oversee the "non profits" in NYS.  Would love to see her rip PM a new one too

SSD is where they park the chronically unemployed. They routinely deny claims the first time around as a means of saving money. Seriously disabled people are jerked around and made to jump through hoops, it is atrocious what they have to go through. Disability is a scam.
That welfare to work, no benefits after two years garbage we heard about from the Clinton era? Didn't happen. Too many loopholes, and like I said, they move the more resistant ones to SSD, or the TSA.
Now that I think about it, Obama's "everyone will have more than a high school diploma" idea was another scam, to keep large numbers of people out of the workforce until he'd been safely elected to a second term, to feed the predatory lending industry, and to make the younger Americans who can't find good jobs blame themselves for getting the "wrong" degree or not enough education.
This is a bit off topic, I know, but there is an awful lot of money floating around not helping those who need help, and a lot of people trying to help themselves while the government is actually helping them hurt themselves worse.
