CA ceases disability payments

[Grandpa Troll]

I...don't think welfare kiddies are the people they have in mind when they say "with disability"?

So you dont think people "claim" disability but chose to sit back and collect instead of trying to do something?

Im disabled X 2, spine surgery and total wrist fusion.

But, have adapted, still hurts, still impacts my life and have some bad days Lonestar, but choose to work instead od sitting back.

Thats what i am referring to.

i know former employees who "allegedly" got hurt at work, Medically got qualified, retired but then can go out and ride dirt bikes all over, swim, ride horseback, go dancing, drinking in bars but yet they pickup disability checks.

Thats what i am referring to Lonestar, the abusers

Sounds like my brother Grandpa.

You're right to say the younger generation is pampered. I am part of that generation, I saw the **** hitting the fan; I dodged.

Good job, Frosty. Don't take anything from anyone unless it's dire circumstances.

Bull****. I've put up with much, as have others, but I'm not putting up with this crap.

One of my best friends from high school has been milking disability for years longer than his actual disability.

This summer, I learned, for the first time in many years he actually got a job somewhere (McDonalds). He overslept his second day on the job and never went back.

Oh, I totally do. In the USN we called that "Malingering" and I knew someone who had a "Bad Back" and got out that way on disability. What I do question is whether or not the vast majority of people on disability are cheating the system.

You suspect CA is playing hardball with the Feds for financial aid?

I don't even know the details, but it's an old tactic, especially in California, to pick out the most outrageous thing that could happen and say that it will happen if your opponent or your patron doesn't give you lots of money.

It's the way that NPR does business, for instance. Also, North Korea. It's amazing that supposedly well-educated, sophisticated people fall for this tactic so often.

Seems to me that other cuts could & should be made before the state ceases paying disability.

Like what? (I have no idea what's in CA's budget.)

I don't know why you guys are playing Chiang's game. It's ridiculous.

Speaking as someone who has very little idea about Californian law, but don't they have a specific law about how they need a greater than majority vote to reduce the money they spend on initiatives and such, which is what seems to an outsider to be costing them money which could otherwise be used to finance disability and education etc?

[Arrian]

I don't know, because I don't know their budget either. But I strongly suspect there are other cuts that could be made that would avoid the supposed necessity of stopping disability checks.

Obviously they cut disability before welfare because disabled people won't riot in the streets.

Disgusting.

Rather then cutting programs, Arnie cuts off disability altogether then removing his precious pork?

[Arrian]

Dan is right, of course. Which is my point. This is an example of threatening to do something terrible (cutting payments to blind people) in order to avoid making hard decisions.

I'm the same way. I could ask for disability that would pay my way. No thanks. Work is much better and you can actually get ahead!

That being said, there are many who are not abusing disability benefits who will be hurt by these cuts. They should cut welfare first before disability.
