The Social Security Disability system is broke and being abused. Lawyers have figured out how to batter the Administration into accepting claims and abusing what the purpose was originally intended.
They need to do a medical review of all participants every 2 years and verify continued eligibility.
S S D pays out $300 Billion plus, every year to disabled participants of which, better than half are not really disabled, unable to work at all. Why did businesses spend all that money on facilities for workers with disabilities?
By hiring 4,000 medically train investigators to weed out half of the recipients we save $150,000,000,000..
The cost to do this would be 4,000 X $120,000. = $480 million and we have a savings of $149,540,000,000. Dah, why doesn’t our Government understand economics?
These are the people we trust with our money!
