The New Welfare Queen: Getting "Crazy" Checks

OR:

I can get money from the gubmint for doin nuttin but acting crazee!

Last week, Investor’s Business Daily ran a piece on the 5.4 million Americans that have joined disability rolls under President Obama. It was a thoughtful piece, but it missed the point of the amount of abuse of this system that allows millions of young American men to drop out of the workforce and get paid to cool their heels.

It’s an epidemic nobody talks about because it could bleed into the sensitivity associated with legitimate recipients of social security disability insurance payments. The program provides money to people too young to get social security and unable to work.

The problem is that so many young people, especially men, are claiming they are nuts. Yes, this is the biggest scam since the welfare queens of the 1980s, and it’s getting worse. They call it “the crazy check” and there are wide swathes of men playing the system for these checks.

They feel like they’re getting over on the system except they are digging a hole that means dependency of some form. They are not victims by any means. It’s a national tragedy. When so many brave young men and women have been permanently injured fighting wars for this nation others can shuffle to their mail boxes and get paid.

This is seen by many as a form of social justice, and it’s the tip of the iceberg. It’s amazing and it’s suicidal for our nation. Perhaps the saddest part is that there is no shame to this game, and in fact, those perpetrating are seen as slick, cool, and smart. I guess they’re playing by the rules the same way Wall Street played by the rules. In both cases, the rules were wrong and must be adjusted. For Wall Street, they simply have to be able to go out of business and take their losses with them. For those young men willing to sit on their ass and rip off the nation they should be thrown into some kind of public service like cleaning roads.

This is a national outrage. In addition, it’s beginning to take a heavy toll. New data out yesterday points to the fact social security will run out of money even sooner than the last time the numbers were ran.

Social Security Retirement Funds will be depleted by 2035
Social Security Disability Funds will be depleted by 2016 (previous estimate was 2018)

As a result, the entire program will be broke three years sooner than previously thought, and there is no doubt once they sharpen the pencil and run the numbers a year from now, it will move up a few more years on death row. It is very easy to go to the Social Security office and say the recession is making you depressed and begin collecting a monthly check of $1,111.
For a man trying to feed his family, this is a paltry amount, but for a bum with no rent, mortgage, car note, educational loans, electric bills, and living with his mother or grandmother, this is a lot of dough.

This is a huge scam and must be fleshed out even more, but I don’t think the government will do that since these same dropouts are not counted in employment data, making the unemployment rate look better than it really is. That’s how social justice works.

There are more chronically unemployed men and women (call them lazy bastards) living off of our tax money than there are paying into the system at this point! It's crazy . . . . . but we already KNEW that.
