I only have seen anecdotal evidence, but it appears that there is now a push underway to get the more lightly 'disabled' off of disability SS. This may be good news for the severely disabled waiting in line, but getting people into part-time work could just end up shifting more costs to the states. So many people on some sort of benefit, the neediest go without, like with the VA. It's depressing.

Much of the problem exists when a doctor will classify a person either physically or mentally disabled,
yet their disability is not severe enough for them to collect Social Security Disability.  
They can't work and they can't collect benefits.  SSI is often their only source of income.


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.

Box, the person I've become aware of most recently, she's been on some kind of mental disability thing for ages, although it doesn't seem to stop her from doing anything at all except hold down a job. I understand that there are people with 'invisible' impairments who nonetheless cannot work. One man I know of sits in a darkened room staring at the tv all day, even on the nicest days. There is obviously something wrong there. I wouldn't change places with him, that's for sure.
I'm talking about people who didn't fit the category of unable to do any form of work. There seems to be a trend of removing them from the rolls, but I haven't seen enough evidence personally to know if this is part of a policy change or not.

give them a house with some land a cow/pig/chickens/seeds and let her have at it......not everyone thinks this 'civilization'
makes sense.......


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

I heard differently from some at work, in fact they joke about having the option and are actually encouraged by doctors to get SSD if they wanted it even though they are physically able to hold a job.

Walked into this thread thinking this was about 'Solid State Drives' (Computer hard drive)

Left disappointed.
