A friend of mine has an older son 40 something to be exact. He is on SSI. He is too depressed to deal with a job and to deal with life in general. He is not too depressed to buy a car. He is not too depressed to buy a boat. He is not too depressed too move from Idaho to South Carolina....all by his little 0l' self. He is not too depressed to go fishing all day and water sking all summer. His 73 old mother works to help support him.... This are the ones that drive Republicans crazy.
I will gladly, gladly, gladly give you a helping hand when you are truely needy, help you get on your feet, make sure you are clothed and do not go hungry. I draw the line at helping you when you sit on your butt all day and fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE DO NOT want the need thrown off welfare, we want the bums like the one above thrown off welfare
Sounds fair to me. If you're able to work, then why not work?are you sure you are not just one of those with a little empathy.. because i've heard a lot of republicans making noise about throwing everyone off of welfare. (in order to get welfare you have to work)

I think welfare should go to people who are working, not pay able bodied people to not work.
The op is probably referring to disability, and there are many people on it who are able-bodied, and just gaming the system.
25% or so of the collective bargaining unit members of the United States Postal Service are on limited (job related) or Light (other disability) duty.
I wasn't aware of that, but I remember hearing that in one of the states (can't remember which one), it is estimated that about 25% of the disability recipients are abusing the system, and I know that it's growing by leaps and bounds for the past few years.
trust me, much of those people are abusing the system.
Personally, I try to help anyone who asks me no matter their circumstances. I keep dollar bills in my car just to hand them out to panhandlers. My friends think I'm kinda dumb to do that since the money will likely be used for something that's not good. What I choose to do with my money, though, is a very different question from what I believe the government should be doing with other people's money.

I used to do the same, until I realized that I wasn't helping them by encouraging self-destructive behavior. I'll keep a sharp eye out for the outliers that seem like they uniquely need it, but fit, young to middle age males.... not so much.

My big gripe is that SSI "tells" people to go to work, but punishes them for doing so by disproportionately reducing benefits for hours worked..inducing many of the disabled to forego the desired job (and increased independence) and independent housing so they can actually afford to pay for services they need (thus leaving them unemployed and more dependent upon family/guardians).
