When do we stop digging, this damned hole is getting deeper every day.....

Since the current occupant of the Oval Office took his seat and put his feet up on the desk there --- and jobs disappeared, and the economy tanked, and unemployment benefits were extended and yet still ran out ............  the growth industry in this Nation has been Social Security Disability Benefit (SSDI) payments...   

All of a sudden, perfectly healthy persons were applying for and being approved for this worker's disability hand out --- at the expense of the working tax payers of course - because the Gob'mint has no money.....

During one recent period, while US population growth held at 9.7%,, the growth of SSDI payment recipients grew by 230 Percent!!! In 2011, $175 Billion taxpayer bucks were paid to this group! And guess what --- a major reason is because now, all an applicant has to do is state (through an appointed attorney) that he/she can't speak or write English and....... voila!!  Approval is on autopilot!  Never mind that to become a naturalized citizen, one must have a working knowledge of the English language! 

Which begs the question asked by Senator Sessions (R) Alabama  .................... “how many non-citizens are now receiving benefits?” 

And the unasked question: "How many of these newly approved SSDI recipients will ever get a job and walk away from it?"
