Who even knew about this SSDI corruption???? I certainly suspected that many people receiving disability payments were doing so without rightful cause. But I always assumed that their cases had been reviewed and disability payments awarded according to some semblance of rational process. Now, thanks to you, I understand that billions of dollars are being paid to sheer grifters, thanks to SSDI “judges” who see the government as a spigot of benefits to be indiscriminately given to anyone who applies. Will DOGE stop this nonsense? I hope so.
Let me give you a perspective from the trenches. Years ago, when things were financially very difficult for us, we applied for SSI for our youngest son, then 15. He has Down syndrome and had been diagnosed with leukemia, and for the second time. We knew, correctly, that he was facing a bone marrow transplant. We were turned down flat. Down syndrome AND leukemia. They gave us some half baked reason. We gave up, completely dejected. Years later, Drew started receiving SSI (frankly, I get them all confused, all the different SS disability types) but it took a literal portfolio my husband put together to convince them to give him the maximum. He can't work, has an IQ of 40, can't be left alone, and is a 2x cancer survivor. I have found SS disability to be a complete tooth pull myself. It astonished me that others have found it such a giveaway. Maybe they're tougher here in the DFW area.
Reading the article I see a distinct Social Justice Warrior bent to most of the "judges" he describes. Judging from your profile photo and description as "simply" having a hard time with medical expenses for your child - perhaps you don't fit into the "oppressed class" that "deserves" a walk on easy street. There is an "oppressed class" family in my daughter's apartment building that has all three members receiving SSI, with no apparent issues preventing them from earning a living.
No, we don't fit the DEI profile. American citizens and of a certain hue. It's not just SS disability but all programs serving special needs kids and families. Fifteen years wait lists in some cases. All while DC literally pisses away money serving their own interests. We'll see it now. That's why I'm a huge DOGE cheerleader.
When a government interferes with a population running up to an election that’s “election interference”. When they break rules that the remainder of citizens adhere to. That’s “fraud” and has to be punished, will congress and the house push this criminal endeavour to be punished. We will then see who is guilty. The invisible people involved should be made visible, indicted and have their day in court.
We are not approaching but already at the point where ALL government agencies MUST be tasked with the immediate requirement to prove why they should be allowed to continue and the minimum number of employees required to fulfil ONLY their originally mandated function. We are beyond the point of having a group like DOGE - a great idea and they are working hard - to filter through what is OBVIOUSLY a totally broken and out of control bureaucracy. We are at the point of being necessary to assume EVERY agency is broken, not fulfilling its mission and in need of destruction. Sometimes when buying out a failing but promising business like Twitter, the ONLY method of repair is to blow it up, exposing all the pieces, and then seeing the best way to reassemble into a working entity. We ARE AT THAT POINT with the federal (and most, if not all state) government.
The first order of business MUST also be legislation to COMPLETELY OUTLAW contract operations of government functions. Government activities OF EVERY KIND must be accomplished and overseen by ONLY government, accountable, personnel. EVERY government action and disbursement MUST be accountable to the taxpayers, INCLUDING intelligence operations and budgets. The days of the Intelligence Community operating outside of view and control of the public MUST CEASE. We have learned our lesson. How many elections have they controlled, both outside and INSIDE the US? Any sane person acknowledges the FACT they are responsible for the current Ukraine war. They are 100% responsible for the Biden Administration.
