Collecting Disability for Mental Disorders

90s just way to high of a number... it may be the majority, but even still, im gad the system was there to help us even if lazy fucks abuse the system

 

hey the system ain't put fourth for abusing.. you're right.. but unfortunately it does get abused... there's always some group of people that are willing to go through the tedious tasks of jumping through all these hoops so they can live "the easy life".. maybe its not 90% but then again we all know that 90% of all statistics are made up

 

^lol very good point. but if were makin up statistics id say around 100% of the people abusing the system, if they wernt abusing this system they be taking advantage of a differnt one like welfare

 

Ahh welfare theres a easy one to get, hell I could go down and apply and qualify on Monday if I wanted to.

 

Any of ya'll remember seeing Ol Dirty Bastard go collect his food stamps back on MTV? it was in the 90s.. he showed his ID card and everything.. went in.. came out with like $400 in food stamps

 

nah never saw it

 

i dont expect st. stephen to have seen it cuz hell i think i was 16 when i saw it.. if not younger...

 

^haha yah that was way before me. shit i only half remember when he died

 

Where do start, I have trouble with reading money like math and spelling like typing on here can be tuff, paying bills and filling out forms is really hard for me. I have back problems had 2 surgery when I was younger sometimes I get back spasms. They gave me pills but it knocks me out so I try not to take them

 

what a dumbass

 

Mental disability is a joke, a sad horrible joke. It makes no sense for people tax money to be spent in this way, no one should be forced to pay for peoples health problems. So your brother got in a motorcycle accident? Why should someone 3000 miles away be required to pay his operations?

 

Social Security is an investment, it works like a 401k program, you put money in and when you need it, it's there for you. If you do not pay into Social Security you do not obtain Social Security benefits in most cases.

 

an investment that is gonna be depleted by the time i collect SSI

 

sad but most likely true

 

social security is bull, i dont see why the government has the right to force you to invest

 

You could always get an under the table job, but if you ever become disabled or it comes to retirement you and have not put any savings towards it, your screwed.

 

I for one have never minded paying in for taxes and government services, I do sometimes wish I could pay a bit less from time to time. But in order to have a functioning society money will be needed,some people will always need some sort of assistance.

We do need to put a end to government corruption and quit the siphoning off of needed government services.

 

Social security isnt an investment. an investment is you putting money into something to try to get a return. with social security you are basically paying for your grandmas social security when you have that taken out of your check. you wont get that money back ever. you are relying on your grandkids to pay for your decrypit ass.

 

See it as you wish, but I for one am glad that folks in need can receive assistance instead of being forced to fend for them selves. Life is not easy, while most people are able to live by their own means many others struggle from many debilitating illnesses whether mental or physical.

Living on social security is not a easy life, the pay out is not large and with most cases medical costs eat up much of that income. It just gives people another option instead of becoming homeless or crawling in a hole and dieing.

 

^this is correct
