is the shutdown helping?

I didn't really take Dave's post as knocking those who get disability for legitimate reasons.

I took it as knocking the large number of people who draw disability checks for completely fabricated and BS reasons. There is no question that plenty draw disability checks in that bucket of people.

Those with a real disability have nothing to be ashamed of. You paid your dues too...and that's why disability is there.

My Grandfather was literally carried off the job site by his crew at age 59 with near paralysis from a lifetime on a bulldozer in the Army, Corps of Engineers, and Civilian. He paid his dues. He drew disability for a few years. No shame at all in that man.

Dave had said.

We paid for our Social Secuity as did all Americans drawing the checks after reaching retirement age (not getting them early from some disability).

I understand exactly what Dave wrote. He made it very plain.
