Whatever liar. Everyone can now see you are a liar.
Get over yourself.

Sure thing liar.
Try it, may help your attitude. Like "lighten up"
You got it wrong, Obama is the liar. In fact he made liar of the year.
Thats what I am wondering too. What did the Obama Administration do to increase the number of Americans on disability? Did Obama make people get into serious accidents? Did he make people spend decades of their lives not taking care of themselves, not eating right, not exercising and thus ending up with heart failure or adult onset diabetes? Did he give people cancer and thus land them on disability when they were too sick to work?
With all this outrage surely they can point to some policy by the current admin that lead to this. I would wager that the majority of people on disability are in red states. In fact, of the top 5 states for people on disability, they are all southern red states:
5 states with the most people on disability- MSN Money
7.4 million were on diability in January 2009
So 3.5 million have been added to the roles since then. Some in this thread touting its 3% of our population, but in January 2009 it wasn't 3% but more like 2.4%. Now I'm not blaming the loser human in the oval office that I can't stand one bit, for I don't know why we have 3.5 million more enrollies in disability programs today than we did when he took office, but its not disputable that we do.
When a liar like you makes accusations, sorry no not with you. You are shown for what you are in front of everyone, a liar.
Ah I see, so when Obama lies it is a lie, but when you lie it's "a bad assumption". Got it liar.
(CNSNews.com) - The total number of people in the United States now receiving federal disability benefits hit a record 10,988,269 in December, up from the previous record of 10,982,920 set in November, according to newly released data from the Social Security Administration.
The average monthly benefit paid to a disabled worker also hit a record of $1,146.43 in December, up from a previous high of $1,130.34 in December of last year.
Spouses of disabled workers also got a record average monthly benefit of $308.13 in December, up from a previous high of $304.31 in August. Children of disabled workers also received a record average monthly benefit of $341.42 in December, up from a previous high of $337.13 in May.
As CNSNews.com reported earlier this month, the number of Americans getting disability benefits now exceeds the entire population of Greece, which is 10,772,967, according to the CIA World Factbook.

No, just 3%.
Baby boomers aging into their 50s and early 60s is the problem. You got this huge generation of people that ushered in the obesity epidemic in America as well as just the general decline in fitness in this country that are now getting old enough for all their poor health choices to come how to roost. I am not sure what we do about that though. We can more aggressively go after fraud, but that is probably only going to cut away at the margins of the problem.
It's 3% of the population, for gawd's sake. You think this is the biggest fish to fry?
Heck, I can bet the DoD flushes more taxpayer money in one freakin' week.
And BTW, as the population increases, so does the number of people on disability. The numbers have been steadily increasing for the last 40 years.
Like I wrote, so freakin' what.
Over the past ten years, almost 3 million men and women have served in Iraq and Afghanistan thanks to both Bush, who started the wars, and Obama, who promised to get us out immediately, but didn't. Of those who didn't come home in body bags, hundreds of thousands of them came home with traumatic, permanent injuries. So how can anyone be surprised that the number of people on disability has continued to rise?
Nobody in their right mind... and nobody in this thread... has ever supported disability fraud. That's nothing more than a bunch of disingenuous huffing and puffing to cover up the real motive behind the hatred of disability payments, or any kind of payment to individuals who are unable to support themselves.
Obama did get the liar of the year award. Did he not? And you are a Obama fan, are you not?

Add to that an aging population, and yes, you're gonna have a rise in people who are unable to work and support themselves.

That's nothing more than a bunch of disingenuous huffing and puffing to cover up the real motive behind the hatred of disability payments, or any kind of payment to individuals who are unable to support themselves... which is that a substantial percentage of America's population thinks that once a person can no longer contribute to society, they should be placed on the nearest curb for trash pickup and immediate disposal.
Oddly enough, the people who feel that way are almost always well off financially and healthy as horses. Lucky them. If I was in charge of the world, folks, karma would be a bitch... a bitch with an empty checkbook and a hearty ho-ho-ho when they find themselves sitting on that curb, waiting for pickup.
Nope, but then I'm not a fan of your lies either that you cannot admit to. Oh I forget, you call them "Bad assumptions". You're no better than Obama.
Link please.
Seriously, Rocketman? You wanna get mad and go after the change under the couch cushions, rather than the billion upon billions wasted by your DoD?
