That's quite the thesis. But are you really equating earned disability with unearned governmental largess. That how it reads to me. True I'm a hard sciences kind of guy. But I'm constantly running "cost/benefit" analysis scenarios through my head and the Dem numbers just don't make the cut. I'm even in favor of a little redistribution, which is why I favor the labor union model. Ensuring that people that are willing to work are paid a fair wage with corresponding benefits. I can't sanction folks sitting on their couches eating cheesy poofs, and unwilling to find employment, getting welfare and EBT. If they can't find work where they are, it's time to go where the work is.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - "You know a lot of people injure their knees and don't have the government to take care of them,..." Workers Comp, to medicare. SSDI on top of that, along with long term disability from the company, usually a part of Union negotiations. There are a lot of conservative Union members. Unions are run by the membership. Opting out of political donations has been a thing for members for over 20 years.
It's not just my knees, that was the impetus for My MMRB. I have the VA rating for My whole skeletal system. The incident that damaged me fractured Cervical vertebrae. PTSD and TBI are in there also.
Spare me the,"They have it so Hard" rhetoric. It's a choice they make daily when they sit on the couch playing with the x box, instead of getting out and attempting to better their lives. We've come full circle and Im done with this thread.

Let's make this really a long term reality, instead of just hoping for it. Hope is not a workable plan.
