The problem with idiot socialists like Sanders is their first instinct is always to “stick it” to business. What he doesn’t realize is that this kind of thing is just going to discourage the building of new housing and as a result will create even bigger shortages:

It would be like if the government created a law that prevented Mercedes Benz from charging more than $10 thousand dollars for a car. Would you get one? Of course not. They would just stop making them.

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--On the heels of his campaign stops in California where he identified housing affordability as an issue of economic justice across the nation, Senator Bernie Sanders announced Sunday afternoon via Twitter his endorsement of Proposition 10, stating: “Currently California cities and towns aren't permitted to pass rent control measures to address the affordable housing crisis. That should change. Municipalities should have the freedom to deal with the decline in affordable housing and rising rents. Let's pass Prop 10.

Gee, great. I'm sure the thousands of people who have nothing to eat and live in outdoor tents will be really grateful you did that. 

No, it's only 15 people. Would have been 16 if I'd mailed check instead of putting the donation on my VISA card.

Please, it goes on everywhere:

Humble Narcissist was referring to Portsmouth only. That it goes on everywhere was not relevant to that post.

It goes on everywhere, I was referring to one city listed in an article.  I've lived in several different states and my guess is at least 50% can work and that's being very generous.

Yesterday I saw a story on the news where a woman who has had cerebral palsy since 5 months old makes paintings by moving her eyes and the computer draws where her eyes go.  She made over $14,000 for 1 painting!  She works and she can't even move anything but her eyes.

I've worked with people in wheel chairs, blind, deaf and missing limbs but all of these people with bi-polar disorder and social anxiety disorder can't.

Unlike Straw Man you seem to be a decent guy but I think probably a little naive when it comes to this stuff.  I will work on converting you.

Your certainly entitled to your guess as to how many people on disability are scamming the system, but it is still just an assumption with no way to prove it.

You must be determined to be disabled by the Social Security Administration (SSA) in order to qualify for SSDI or SSI. The process isn't a cake walk. Your doctor(s) must verify you are disabled.  Then you'll need to hire an attorney who handles the lengthy process, including, reams of paperwork and representing you at your hearings before a disability judge. About 65 to 70% of initial applicants are denied. If you decide to pursue a reconsideration appeal your chances of qualifying worsens. Reconsiderations rates of denial tend to be between 82-87 percent. Depending on how backlogged the Social Security Administration a successful claim for benefits can take a year or more.

If you are interested in knowing more about the processes involved in qualifying for SSDI, SSI, Medicare and PERS disability, let me know. I have some experience with these things.

Converting me to what? I have an open mind, so I am interested in learning more about most things. Keep in mind, if all you bring to the table is opinions, they won't be enough to change my thinking.

It's much easier than people think to get on disability  IF  the person knows how to play the system.  There are people who legitimately need the aid that have a hard time because they have never been taught how to game the system.

Doctors are reluctant to turn someone away who is claiming a mental disability like social anxiety disorder because if that person goes off and kills people the doctor will get blamed for not "doing something."  Same for the second Doctor the feds hire to approve or disapprove of the claim.  The applicant already has a doctor or two saying they qualify so if the fed doctor (who spends like 5 min with the person) declines them and the person goes off in the future they are really in the spotlight for not approving the claim.

Just fucking with you on the conversion.

Knowing the system/process before applying for SSDI would definitely be an advantage.  Debilitating mental disorders are definitely harder to verify without a long history of treatment. Having never gone through the process, I have no idea how one proves the are permanently mentally disabled or even just disabled for a year or so. I would think one would need historical documented evidence not just a recent diagnosis.

While you guy were carrying with this serious debate/conversation ....I was dining on 4 White Castle sliders and a couple of Bud Lights while inserting $5 bills into a viseo Poker machine.

I suggest you all get out of the house and go run a mile or two and have a slider and a beer in your closest casino and start enjoying life as you see fit.

Other than the beer and running parts, I could give that a go!
