I started working in 1977, joined the service in 1979. I had been working up until 2002. I have applied for ssd ssi and i have conditions and medical problems and needs that prevent me from working it is no fault of my own just soemthing i inherited from my grandmother and if i continue to try to be in the work force i could be exposed to something and stop breathing and die.
We this nation i know have beenvery liberal as far as treating, drug addicts and obiesety, and alchoholism as diseases. And i know many people who collect them checks and they are soo able to do something.
and its frustrating. But would you throw those who collect ssd or ssi whop have never worked because they are severely disabled. I would hope not
. We should take care of our own and stop giving aid to countries who abuse our laws, and we definately sh0ould not be giving SSd SSi to a people who used fraudulant ss cards and numbers to illegaly work in this country .
But please dont attack the ones who are our citizens who really cannot work because of say. downs syndrome or something like that !!
Thank you
