    That isn't going to happen.

    There is a 'debility' whether it be caused by what someone might

    It is most easily 'described' as 'back pain' (or someother where)
    that prevents their doing any useful work. Like many people whose >>>>>> back pain may be quite severe, but does NOT prevent them from
    dealing w/ it and being not only gainfully employed but quite
    successful, many back pain problems do NOT have abnormal findings
    on Xray, MRI, CATscan, or neurologic testing.

    The important thing is that such examples of backpain or whatever
    disability do not have black/white determinations. If someone
    'wants' to have backpain and be disabled, then surely they are. If >>>>>> they want instead to work, then surely they will.


    No doubt it's a tough nut to crack.
    Back when I was growing up in the 70's, NYC cracked down on the
    overwhelming
    number of NYPD officers claiming "disability" and they weeded
    them out but back then it was a manual effort of staking the
    suspects out, taking photos of them rebuilding their garages etc. >>>>> They did manage to catch quite a few though.
    With the Internet and online information, who knows?
    I am NOT in favor of neighbors reporting neighbors as it is
    too close to Germany circa 1939 ie:there is a Jew hiding in the
    barn over
    there.
    That's not good.
    Something does need to be done though.
    I'm just not sure how :(

    show receipts of your monthly costs ,
    only necessities , beer is not an necessity ,
    you shouldn't profit on assistance , i did , but that don't make it
    right

    I know people in disability -- they do not have enough money to live.
    You try living on $1500 a months WHILE also having to pay for the
    needs your disability creates. That includes housing, all
    entertainment, much of your food (they get some SNAP as well),
    clothing, bedding, housewares, any Internet access they want (though I
    think some get it partially covered), etc.

    you have a bunch of non essential here ,
    what's this entertainment need , scratch that ,
    what internet and even then , how about 6 hours of dial up ,
    show receipts let your worker pick out your no needs

    I believe we should make sure people who are truly in need can live a
    decent life.

    Who is against that you stupid git ?


    I'm not talking about giving out luxury cars or high-end
    perks -- just basic dignity and support.

    You mean like some scamming the system have?
    I doubt Trump or Musk are interested in scamming SNAP.



    No one should have to suffer
    more than they already do just because they live with MS, are a disabled veteran, or face other serious challenges beyond their control.

    Again, so?
    It's the scam artists who are being weeded out.
    Are you one of them?
    Based upon your responses, you surely seem to be.


    I play D&D with several veterans, some of whom are disabled.
    You seem to have oodles of free time.
    When do you work?

    The way
    they've been treated is deeply unfair. They gave up years of their lives
    in service, came home with lasting physical and mental health issues,
    and then had to fight for the care and support they were promised. It's
    not right. And the same goes for people dealing with chronic illnesses
    like MS -- the system too often leaves them struggling alone.

    And?
    They deserve assistance and the only ones treating them unfairly are the liberal assholes who hate the military.

    And they should be taken care of long before the 15 million illegal aliens
    that have invaded the country and get free cell phones, clothes, housing
    in 4 star hotels and debit cards.
    So what do you have to say about that Mr. support the troops?
    You are a God damned idiot.


    I'd much rather see our tax dollars go toward helping people like that
    -- folks who genuinely need a hand -- than continue propping up
    billionaires under the misguided hope that their wealth will somehow
    "trickle down" to the rest of us.

    Yawn.
    I'd rather see my tax dollars going to help citizens, LEGAL CITIZENS, of
    the USA rather than illegal migrants.
    As for taxes, from what I have read about you Mr. Snit, you are living on
    the dole and don't pay taxes so you have no say in this topic.
    I loath lazy people like you who spend their time playing D&D or writing
    troll posts. Get a fucking job already snit.

    But if that were true, then why is the GOP cutting VA staff & resources?
