How do we stop this? Seriously. I believe it is too far gone at this point.
It is too far gone...seriously, if you can get a doctor's note saying that you are "depressed", then you can get SSI Disability. What is your disability? Seriously, I've seen dudes who smoke weed all day, get some tail, smoke weed, play video games, and go to the mailbox and get a check. And they have told me how to do this!
I saw a guy who parked in the handicap parking space at a local store. Dude was driving a Camaro ZL1, top of line Camaro. Looked in his 40s...and he raced his girlfriend to the car...what is his disability?
Another issue, in the state of MD, and I don't know if it is true for your state. But, if a person gets locked up, they can use their SSI Disability card to put money down on a bond...
So if you are a victim of a crime, and that person gets a bond and whoever bonds him out has money on their card and uses it, you are in effect paying the bond for the defendant who committed a crime against you.
Somehow, I believe the politicians are tied into this. If you give people the access to this, the they will vote for you. Also, they spend the money like it's water, so they are putting the money back into the economy...supposedly stimulating it, but it gets taken out of the taxpayers wallet.
