Crime will rise. Fucking moron.
People can't live without these benefits, but at the same time what they are trying to do is to get these same people either 1) back to work (which nobody wants them) or 2) on an early retirement of SSI. The benefits will be far less than EDI or full retirement.
sucks ass.
Work til you drop, and God forbid that you started working at an extremely young age and are trying to make it to 66.
Now, if you worked hard (on the books) starting at a young age, your SSI benefits could easily be enough for you to live semi-comfortably on, as long as your bitch is working. Chances are though, she ain't gonna be to happy that you've just added to her monthly bills instead of contributed.
Shit storm is coming, but I really can't stand hearing it blown out of proportion. Guys at the gym are always talking negative gloom and doom as if there is some kind of Apocolypse coming. It gets old. "Conspiracy Theories" ~ nobody wants to hear it.
It may happen, it may not.
Lots of people will resort to working "under the table' and collecting benefits, so in the end, the GP still wins.
Let's just take it one day at a time and see what happens. Talk is cheap. We should all know that by now.
