#1 May explain the new smoked glass, black Lexus that shops at Whole Foods w/o cash, but never goes to the office.

#2 ..simply moving from expired unemployment to [lawyer advertized] SS disability payouts. You know the system is set up that the lawyers get a 'fee' for working the SS disability case. Wonder how many applications are refused and remain beyond challenge [insert lawyer here]? The tragedy of the commons playing out before you.

#3 Along with EBT: the electronic soup-line.

No photo op here; nothing for the media cameras.

#4 Don't have any data on other stagtes, but if there were no lawyers with adverts offering to get folks on Social Security disability, there would be little advertising on Georgia teevee.

Must be a great deal of money to be made in all of this by the legal community.

#5 In this market being gray and unemployed IS a disability.

#6 Being unemployed six months makes one unemployable in the eyes of HR departments (round-fele such resumes upon receipt). One only has two choices - Disability or entrepreneurship.

#7 Both my older Sister and youngest Brother are on disability. A lifetime of smoking,drinking, and drugs will do that. Now they both adore Obama because they believe he will, "Take care of them". There is no admission from them that there are consequinces for their lifestyles. The Government "Owes them".

#9 I have a friend that has been in this country for thirty years. He was a teacher and mechanical engineer. He developed a process to convert black dirt into diesel fuel. It worked but costs were not good to bring to market. He now has all the assistance programs you can imagine. Is he worried?, no. They will not cut these programs he believes. All medical costs are covered for heart and colon cancer surgery(cost him nothing!). Food stamps, electric, phone, transportation, and Internet. Each day is his to do as he pleases.
