Do we put hungry people into forced-eating centers? Do we imprison diabetics into sugar-free prisons?

why are sick people subsidized to remain in the environment which made them sick? should there not be treatment centers where substance abusers must remain in order to be subsidized?

@ Jeff Redman but when the rules & regulations are not enforced (like most now for only certain crooks in this country) and those that know it, keep a keepin' on in breaking them—

yep they ALL do

too much Fux Noise goin' on their few brain cells— sadly for the rest of us

of course your statement stands to reason Roxanne Lillis but ALL reasoning went down the toilet for the extreme rads on the right in lieu of personal greed and power over ALL

That's the GOP meme

He's got his, but doesn't want to share. Sound familiar?

So how do you really feel?

Do you really think ANY company would pay any kind of disability (Im wondering if this is SSDI) without the government mandating it? Workmans comp is a Government mandated program.

Well, teabaggers hate "unions" and "big government", or so they say. Yet this clown is not just double dipping, but triple dipping from the "big govt/union" trough. When he starts collecting his social security, he'll be quadruple dipping! He's "disabled" so he gets a handsome union disability check, but not so disabled that he can't work full time as a public representative and collect a handsome government check and generous benefits, and he gets a veterans "retirement" pension, even though he's not "retired", and pretty soon he'll get a social security retirement check, a program that was initially designed to keep people out of poverty.

Without knowing all the details, it looks like this guy is dragging in something like a quarter million dollars a year, most of it from "big government" programs, not counting his government supplied medical benefits.

I'd have to agree that some social service programs are being abused. This guy is the white collar version of a welfare queen.

but that's different, Shane (somehow…)

Yeah, uh, alcoholism is a disease. Are you going to cut off food to poor people because they're sick?

You don't imagine this could fall in the category of Tealiban HYPOCRISY do you?? These bastards never seem to stop amazing me.

That is the sad part of things like this. I am a liberal but i have a few things i think that should be done so people who need help get it and people who take advantage don't.

One man i read used a postt office box and got a bunch of different food stamp cards, I think first time appliers for welfare should have drug testing. I do go get help I am on disability as well but i have neighbors who use every bit of there disability checks on alcohol , or i see people getting unemployment working another job. I guess I should tell on people when i see it but it is not easy to be a snitch.

Throw the tea party in the harbour

That's some pretty damn severe sleep apnea….is he claiming worker's comp for it?

If it looks like a skunk, acts like a skunk, and smells like a skunk…chances are…it'a a skunk.
