Playing Crazy for SSI Lazy Bums

Amen!! The first time I ran into this was back in '92 when I met a guy that lived down the street. He was in his early 20's and got an SSI check...for playing with Barbies...yup, playing with Barbies. His sister got one also for being nuts, as did his mom. I also know some other ppl, a little closer to home, that are perfectly capable of working but would rather get those "free" checks then do anything. I know a couple of them that brag, actually brag, about getting "crazy checks" as they call them. What really ticked me off is that my Hubby paid into SS for over 30 years and when he became disabled with Degenertive Disc Disease and couldn't work anymore, he had to fight tooth and nail to get his SSA and then it was partly due to his age. As for these ppl sucking up SS, they don't care...it's a free ride for them. I'm not saying that there isn't anyone that needs it but I do know there's alot of them that are scamming the system. Personally, (and I'll probably get flamed for this), I think if they are incapable of earning a living b/c of severe mental problems then they need to be in a hospital where they can be cared for instead of allowed to roam the streets...I'd rather see funding for more mental institutions then all the money just handed out right and left to every fruitcake.

Hi friend, some persons take this kind of mental issues as their advantage and become lazy due to their illness, but this kind of activity is wrong. They must face the challenges and work hard for their needs. This kind of problems are not a factor to make free income.

I don't know any Bums or people being fraudulant about needing the payment. The guy I know has had open heart surgery and a quadruple bi-pass. He cannot work the job he was doing. I am sure faking it makes it harder gor the people who really need it to recieve payments. Its a real shame.
