Why get temporary unemployment when you can get permanent disability? We have been saying for years that liberalism is a mental disease and now they have figured out how to get paid for being nutz.

This seems like it is a problem that needs to be addressed. I guess people become so used to not working they become unable to work and thus able to apply for disability.

This is why continual extension of unemployment benefits was a bad idea.

It's funny that those who are lucky enough not to be effected by the down turn in the labor market seem to think it is good if the rest who are not be helped.

So smart guys, with less jobs out there than people needing work, what do you suggest in helping?

There is a huge section of our young, just out of high schoolers who can't file unemployment and can't find work.

They can't find any work? None? I find that hard to believe.

Even still, just because you can't find work does not mean that you are disabled.

I see work where ever I go. No, it's not going to pay 50 dollars an hour and golden parachutes, but it would give people some money and what's more important, SOMETHING TO DO.

I find it incredible that people collect unemployment and sit on their ass while their elderly neighbor, or busy working neighbor needs grass mowed, roof shingle, windows painted etc. etc.

Politicians and their cheerleaders that think you can do for people what they won't do for themselves by using other peoples money and effort to do it are the problem.

No programs people take their proper station in life. At the starting line. If you have to return to the starting line multiple times that's life....All of life is a do over, every day you wake up.

Since Obama chose to tell us how Jesus say's it's our responsiblity to pay taxes so others can sit down I'd like for any of you to point me to chapter and verse where that was the case.

If it wasn't for disability how would the majority of Retort posters make a living?

"The sputtering economy has fueled those ranks. Around 5.3 percent of the population between the ages of 25 and 64 is currently collecting federal disability payments, a jump from 4.5 percent since the economy slid into a recession."

.8% increase, this shit is "soaring"

"Feroli, who estimates that a quarter of those dropping out of the job market are getting disability."

This guy supposes and surmises like you express.

"10.5 million individuals, including 2 million to spouses and children of disabled workers, at a cost of record $200 billion a year, recent research from JPMorgan Chase shows."

So the average is $19,934.21. You do realize a lot of the cost for this program is in rehabilitation and medical cost? It's not like they get a check for just signing up.

Whining about the disabled getting help. Your such a prick, WWJD dumbass. See you in hell. I'll save you a seat. Right next to me muuuaaahhhaaaa......asshole.
