The last 3 1/2 years have been good for you huh?
I was not being antagonistic with my question. I was serious on how a new Preso would change the issue with disability. I dont think the Preso really has anything to do with that. I think it's a function of companies cutting cost and advising employees with long term ailments to go on disability. We had to do this in our company to make up for lost business.

Our most recent Elected Officials,The Preso included have been way to heavy handed towards private buisness,case in point,one oil rig blows out and he cut off all drilling activity in the gulf by American and her Allies,BP and mouved everything to Venisuella,We didnt get rich,but he did.The Gulf Coast has dried up compared to where we where 4 yrs back,1 accident in 40 yrs,And then stood in the way of the Canadian oil pipeline. So he could continue strangleing the piss out of America!Oil is the Gulf Coasts life blood and any union man with any since would know you have to have it to stay employed! And it trickels down to everything else from there!!West Bay Sensai...

A new Republican president and congress could tighten up the requirements to qualify for disability, in fact for ANY government "entitlement", including food stamps, public housing, etc.
As Sen. Phil Gramm said years ago; "there are too many people in the wagon, and not enough pulling the wagon.""GET OFF MY REEF!"

The problem with disability is, how do you quantify one's discomfort? I have a family member who says he can not work because his hands hurt. He is 33-35 years old (I suck with birthdays if you cant tell) and is on disability. Yet he is able to take care of his 3 YO kid while his wife is at work. We also have a family member who keeps having kids to stay on well-fare support. She needs to be sterilized, as she is on #7. (All on my wife's side btw...)
My point being, how do you really stop this?

By the way, what's so significant about 9/11 anyway-was that a date my buddy Bill Ayers of the Weather Underground blew up a government building?" asked Obama to Hillary. BEAUTIFY AMERICA, RUN OVER A LIBERAL, THEN BACK UP AND SEE IF HE'S DEAD.

This problem has been going on for a long time & is worse than what you think it is, part of the problems comes from the clinics, the doctors will keep you there as long as they can so they can get paid. I was in therapy for 2 years with an injury, right before my workers comp ran out, they told me I can get on supplimental benefits which I told them was not enough to live on, a few weeks later I was told they got me approved for disability so I can continue my therapy, they knew if I went back to work that I would probably stop coming in, I declined the disability. They will also keep you on so many medications that you wont know if your coming or going, they did not care as long as you kept coming in every day so they can get paid. I saw so many scamming the system from selling their medications( I was taught the street value of each one I ws on), to requesting a hospital bed then selling it, grandmas coming in during school break faking injuries to watch their grand kids(when school started back up, the grandmas left), I could keep going on, but the system is screwed up. Once on disability, then you can get housing assistance & food stamps, just another form of welfare.Today is a new day!!
