Social Security is an entitlement when people claim disability to get paid out of SS coffers. I have had individuals I deal with on the streets tell me they quit their jobs because they got more from SS due to a "disability." I ask them if they ever worked and they say yeah but I quit.

Me: "why did you quit?"
Them: "Because when I worked, they turned my check off..."
Me: "Who's they...what check?"
Them: "My disability check...I'm disabled..."
Me: "Really??? You seem totally fine, what could be that matter"

And I've heard some marvelous disabilities...I have a bad back (this person weighed 280 lbs...)
I'm a slow learner....
I have bad knees....
I get dizzy if I stand for too long...


Sure there are definitely some legitimately disabled people that need to be taken care off. I don't want to throw the baby out with the bath water, but I it so hard for me to not be disgusted with the whole program.
