I know of several young healthy men in their 20's and 30's that had a good for nothing sperm contributed father who's gone with young men attached to their mother's Social security check and scared to death to think, she may not always be here to sponge off of and if he gets a job it's just long enough for him to get into trouble with the law. He gets locked up, momma's take them back in, after all, he's her child.

I'm all about if a responsible child of any age is doing everything they can to make his or her way and need a legitimate hand up, but to just make no effort to work and pay their own way when the world is begging for worker's to hire. There's no reason for healthy young people to not go work for their wants and needs.

Our social security check didn't come free, we had to put in 50 years working our butt's off for it. The last thing you need is a young able bodied person sucking the life out of an aging mother or elderly father.

You nailed it Pb with one exception. Not only the young.

Many folks on disability rather live off of their spouse and that check for a in grown toe nail when they are quite healthy enough to bag groceries or answer a phone making a contribution to the family's needs in the future.

Really sends a message to those being raised among them that lazy and cheating will get them what ever they want. And the worse part is they are proud of themselves for that accomplishment.

Personally I think that those on disability should be required a yearly check up and it reported to the SS disability dept. Doctors would put their name on the line just like they do for the yearly Medicare check up.

And what's real sad Grizz, I have a friend that fell from a scaffolding 3 stories and has pins in his knees, hips l, has a bad limp but works circles around me and can't get a job because he can't pass a physical, so he is forced on disability and hates it !!!
He does firewood to supplement his income because he can't make it on disability income

At least they were substituting the disability and not relying on the SS check for all their needs. But that 100% is questionable and should be accounted for by way of a physical more so than those with a lower %. At 100% one would think they would be home bound not working.

These folks on 40 50 60% are the ones that could still get a minimum wage job and help out the family. That bragging, traveling and telling others how to beat the system just shows their character or lack of as I like to say.

The bad part is, we, the taxpayers, are the system that they’re beating. I had an ex-BIL whose on disability but he’s a quadriplegic and can work circles around most of the losers of today…

My Brother in law who the state recognizes as mentally handicapped because he was a 13 lb+ baby and left in the birth canal to long by the old DOC and had brain damage, has two part time jobs to get 40 hours instead of living off the state!!!

Cam I had a neighbor when I lived in MD that got SSI disability.

How he managed that is beyond me 🤔

You'd think so Bob.
Nobody ever checked on him.
The jackwad I worked with at the county ended up getting SSI.
Bad back couldn't work.
He could drive a firetruck repel down a straight rock wall.
Did everything he did before getting it. Except work.
Always said the county would make him a supervisor or he'd get disability.
His wife drove a school bus.
Guy hit the rear end. She got SSI bad back. Two of there three kids got disability.
The third had kids n welfare. Guy wanted to marry her.
Say she lose her welfare money.👍

yes it is sad when some on the disability government $ who "can't" work, talk about all the things they physically do while some other poor soul is busting his/her butt just to survive.
