And I've explained why it will be impossible to agree on any plan that designates winners and losers going in,... and a 1% cut wouldn't be deadly for anyone.

Either a liar or uninformed. You can’t get disability payments for drug addiction.

I’m ok with the military getting a pension after 20 years, once you reach 65. Physically, it’s a very demanding job.
I retired after 26 years at age 44 is all I'm saying. I would have stayed on active duty if I could but came up against high year of tenure.
You're all heart, Trad. You really need to find another profession than HR. I can't think of a worse person for your position.
Russia is greatly spreading their influence in Europe, Ukraine and the Middle East. And meddling in elections all over the world.
Yes they are. And what do you think would happen with a weaker U.S. I didn't say weak.
I guess you woke today and decided I haven't stalked Jan Itor for a while. And I know you've heard of Hyperbole.
Social Security Disability payments are based upon lifetime earnings. The more you put in the more you get. If you have two family members receiving payments and have put very little into the insurance I would say they are probably receiving less than the average low of $800 per month for 2020. People on SSDI don’t live high on the hog.
It’s coming soon, from a few weeks ago

Just joking Trad...........I know you aren't referring to me. Dude, with humans there will always be ones trying to scam the system, just as there will always be greedy fvcking CEO's that drive the company into the ground, but still get his golden parachute (and the usually go onto another company).
IMO, although I only really know one side (scammers), the latter is a FAR,FAR greater problem than someone faking something to get at most $1000/month (though it may be more now, it's be 17 years since I was on it) from the government (when I was on SS from when I got hurt in 1991 to when I graduated with my BS in 2001 I was only getting ~$600/month........and you can't live on that). From my anecdotal evidence there's at most 3/10 scamming the system..........the rest are like me that use those social services available to better there lives and contribute to society.
And I would rather have taxpayer money actually going to American citizens than funding military bases in ~100+ countries, having 8+ Carrier groups, etc (do you know what we spend yearly just in the Persian Gulf, even though we only get ~11% of our oil from there......it's so not worth it from a cost/benefit analysis). The Pentagon not being able to account for half it's budget in any given year is the real elephant in the room.
Yes it is, it took my disabled Father to finally get a lawyer and then it took almost 5 years before they finally approved it..........he probably saw 5 different SS specialty doctor's during that time. And it was almost as bad before he got his full benefits from the VA..........trust me, he was more disabled than me (as crazy as that sounds).
