Unwilling to work; 25% in Hale County AL collect disability, 14 million nationwide. “Hale county’s Dr. Timberlake asks a simple question to all his patients. ‘What grade did you finish?’ If you claim ‘back pain’ and do not have a degree, Timberlake believes you are disabled.” Disability is the new welfare. What’s more, it saves the states money as welfare was paid by the states whereas disability is federal money. Stimulus.

Do the analysis...
I'm unPC. Sue me.
LOL that girl at work told me the broadcast was on Planet Money.. i was about to post the link here.. If its done well, liberals can get angry about this stuff too
I actually do know some very left wing people who are pissed about this. I think because it causes them to have to address their often misplaced compassion (other people's money. of course) for others.
my friend said "I'm here working, and my sister-in-law's sister has a pantry full of food".. this preceded her statement about almost joining the other side
That is a FULL ON conservative sentiment, uttered by someone who thinks green and supports full gay equality. Imagine her being angry in her Prius while listening to the radio..
You can't dismiss it as some kind of cognitive dissonance over reflecting on misplaced compassion. It is genuine anger over the fraud itself.
My liberal friends are much more adamant about their beliefs than most. I haven't convinced any of them that Obama is evil. He's still got the brainwashing machine set on high.
Obama himself is not the inherently evil one, he's a pawn to his evil Corporate Greed masters. Same with Romney and any other main two party candidate.
Your village called, they miss their idiot.
Disability is an industry in Florida, I'm surprised they didn't make that chart. I know more people trying to get their disability claims approved than are looking for a job.
Have you seen the ads on Facebook for getting assistance to apply for disability? Makes me effing sick when that pops up on my wall.
Yes, and the SS disability lawyers advertising on TV almost non stop.
Can you say Binder and Binder?
That hat goes so well with his suit, though.
They advertise on TV up here. I catch them on AMC and some of the free movie channels at night. I'll pay attention next time, but I think the one I'm thinking of is a legal group.
here too.. i wasn't much aware of the industry until I heard about the spike in disability claims, repeatedly, on this very site (hence, fairly surprised to hear news of the problem from NPR)
Hey ALF, I cruise the terrestrial ones too, thought your girl might like this one. Wallpaper.

[edit] and am I the only one seeing Soc. Sec. Adm. advertising their website on TV? smh
Is it me, or are clouds getting stranger every year? That's pretty awesome
GLOBAL WARMING! PROOF!!!!
Corporate Greed took their jobs away (and their gold).
We weren't speaking of mental disability, Crowley.
TD,....................MO.
I didn't mention it.
All you have to do is show up and we automatically think of the mentally disabled.
I would be willing to sign a certified document that Crowley is not only a tard but deserves to be in a " Care Home" to make sure he gets the constant care and supervision he needs, along with making sure he gets his meds and is kept from the computer.
If he got committed to a secure facility for the insane, I would make a donation.
On what grounds would you make that claim?
all it would take is to compile the hundreds of stupid and repetitive posts you have made here over the months, and we could easily have you committed.
I didn't know the 1st ammendment was a sign of mental illness
But would he get a free interweb connection, and unlimited Cheetos?
That would be a step up from Basement dweller to Trailer park trash....
With the overcrowding in institutions, I have seen pictures of many of them having to use trailers to house inmates. Maybe that's what scares him!
Looks like Creepy got a little flustered when I mentioned confining him to a "facility"...Perhaps that hit a little too close to home..hehe
I don't remember anything in the 1st that says you have freedom to be an asshole.
In your case it is.
You didn't have to, we're all aware of your stupidity.
