[blindlaw] cuts in SSDI benefits

[Daniel McBride]

Listmates:

Here is a true example. The disabled person receiving SSDI benefits is
blind. There is no known treatment or cure for the blindness. The SS
administration contacted the SSDI recipient for a four year review, having
scheduled a visit to a local ophthalmologist to verify that the recipient is
still blind. The recipient called the SSA and brought it to their attention
that the recipient is blind and that there is no treatment or cure. The SSA
caseworker admitted a full understanding of the issue, but stated that "it
is administration policy that we conduct a review and have you examined".
This probably cost the SSA in the neighborhood of $150. Multiply this by the
number of such useless reviews and you are probably talking a lot of money.
If the SSA started by simply eliminating the needless, useless reviews, it
just might give them the 19% they are looking for.

Otherwise, SSDI recipients have little to worry about as this gibberish is
staged, pretentious saber rattling by worthless, pretentious elected
officials who have nothing better to do with their highly over-compensated
time. Has it ever occurred to the D.C. thugs that they could suffer a 19%
cut in their $175,000 a year theifdoms, a 19% cut in their $250,000 annual
retirement pay or that they stop exempting themselves from participation in
the Social Security program and insider trading on the stock market? Well,
the answer to that would be a resounding Hell NO! If they really did pass
legislation to cut benefits by 19%, the same bill would contain a provision
to give themselves a 19% pay raise.

Washington D.C. means Washington, District of Criminals and all of them are
nothing but a pack of thieves. Everyone in the House, everyone in the Senate
and everyone in the Executive Offices, from president down, are there for
one reason and one reason only; to feather their own nests and rape we the
people.

I know of brothels in Las Vegas that are more honorable institutions than
the scum in Washington D.C.
