Question for members of Disability Group...

did you know that the Manchin-Toomey amendments that failed to pass yesterday, had penalties to disability funds made to states if the states failed to improve/meet reporting requirements?

This disabled person was not aware.

This disabled person is not the least bit surprised.

I was surprised to find a list of double digit percent penalties for disability funds.

That part of it hadn't been mentioned in any left-side media.

If I suffer anymore cuts they may as well keep my check.

I really don't know what they expect people in my situation to do to survive.

I really think they would be pleased if millions of us ceased to exist at all.

I'm waiting for the day when I go to the mailbox and there's a letter from social security telling me to just off myself and be done with it.
