 Obama: I will tax more of your income for social security
Obama: I will tax more of your income for social security
Hardly surprising that a liberal democrat would want to tax more of your income. Of course reverting social security to something close to its original intent might help, but a plan like that wouldn't buy many votes from the entitlement-minded demographic. picked by 2manyusernames 1 year ago

« drStrangelove : So, basically you all agree with Ron Paul.
No because he's anti-choice and I have a major problem with that. If he can keep his mitts off my ovaries, then I'll agree with him. Or conversely, I get to decide what happens to his nuts.

« 2manyusernames :

The definition of "disability" is way to lax.
I wonder if you've ever needed to file for disability for yourself or a loved one. Lax it ain't, believe me. And the compensation isn't enough to live on unless you're eating Ramen 3 times a day and renting a room in a relative's basement.

I've seen case after case after case of truly disabled children and adults being turned away for SSDI. It's the administration's MO - deny first and wait for an appeal, deny again and wait to be sued. Why do you think there are so many attorneys that specialize in disability law?

I realize this is a month after the post, but I had to put in my 2 cents' worth. I know from which I speak - my child who has been hospitalized 22 times from age 6 to 13 and has a medical file that would fill 3 large notebooks was denied twice before the third appeal. And no, I wasn't looking for an entitlement, and we had private insurance. Even with a good job and insurance, the middle class working family cannot afford the treatments for severely disabled children. In the US, it's a nightmare that the healthy either don't understand or turn a blind eye to.
