(45,426 posts)13. Tax cuts for billionaires and make the disabled pay for it
This doesn't surprise me since these assholes have always been claiming there is fraud and abuse in disability benefits without actually providing any evidence. They just know in their gut that people are bribing crooked doctors to make up false medical records.
One doesn't just fill out a form and get disability benefits. There is a lot of medical info required and SSA's own doctors review it to approve claims, which often takes a year or 2. So reproving eligibility every 6 months sounds like an additional bureaucratic administrative burdon.
