Yeah, because what we need more of are fake ass disability claims clogging up the courts.
You’ve obviously never shopped at Coprophagous Bob’s.
swmbo?
Sorry, I have no idea why my computer uncapitalized Clothahump’s name or the acronym I’m asking about. But it apparently won’t let me type “SWMBO”.
She Who Must Be Obeyed
So Annie could have got disability, but disability is (supposed to be) restricted to those who CANNOT work. She could work, and chose to do so, thus forgoing disability. And that’s somehow a virtue?
It’s a thing vBulletin does. It won’t let you make an entire post in all-capital letters.
(supposed to be) is the key point of your sentence. I had thirteen various “professionals” telling me I could get disability because of my hand and general quirkiness. And more people telling me how to get disability. One such person got disability because she couldn’t stand to be in a room with more than three people!
Disability is one big scam.
My ex-wife got on disability for Agoraphobia, claiming she couldn’t be out and definitely couldn’t work in public.
But she would work at the Renaissance Festival every year and hang out at the Mall of America.
:smack:
Ah, thank you. But it also lower-cased the “C” of Clothahump and the first word of his quote. Odd.
One guy I met claimed “mental disability” and had prescriptions for seven different psychotropic medications. Which he bought on Medicaid. And never took.
Your tax dollars at work.
So are you just salty that you couldn’t get on the “scam” of disability or is it something else?
Just because you work with scumbags doesn’t mean people with real disabilities are scumbags.
Yeah, the world is full of stories like this. How the hell do you know what meds someone takes or doesn’t take? If he told you he got them but didn’t take them, why? Did he sell them? What? And why do you think one guy represents an entire system?
Stop the right-wing welfare queen internet rumor thing please.
I have met hundreds of people with real disabilities who aren’t gaming the system.
There, how’s that for anecdotal info?
Yup, I’ve known quite a few too. My comment above was a specific example of cheating that was very close to home, but there’s no way in fuck I want to lend any credence to the Republican Propaganda that disability is only given to cheaters.
You know how it would be easy to resolve this? Put more money in the system to catch cheaters. Simply trying to reduce the overall funds only hurts everyone. It’s like denying everyone lunch because one person stole a cookie.
“General quirkiness”? :dubious:
It’s a debilitating condition. Donate to the Zooey Deschanel Foundation to support finding a cure.
“Oh no! Not Manic Pixie Dreamgirlitis. How much longer do I have, Doctor?”
“You’ll make it to five seasons and syndication, somehow. You might even get a gig with cotton. It’s not the death sentence it used to be.”
