right now really
washed ce we heard sixty minutes
for following in the footsteps of npr a couple months ago
basically did a hit job are on
Social Security Disability Insurance Program I
basically I mean I don't know exactly what they're
the their their their claim was per se it is that it is ravaged by waste and
fraud
you have all these people now
who because they've been laid off from work or because they
jester too lazy to depended she's to subsection Americans
who don't wanna work they just want to take take take
now there's no proof
there's a couple van Eck totes that there is
waste and fraud and presumably this is more
waste and fraud then you get let's say in the private insurance
the markets or in any company he anywhere
there's no waste in big corporations everybody who's worked for a corporation
knows that they're completely efficient
aged they need those guy boxes
otherwise they would be productive whatever it is right I mean
I am time in time
again every agency that has looked into social security disability insurance
has found that the fraud rate specifically the government to ever

don't hear that the vast majority of Appeals

fallen
during this recession now that's rates that's not the total number of people so
why would it be
that we see
greater numbers I love
people claiming Social Security Disability Insurance
I wonder if it has anything to do
with the aging of the population I wonder if it has anything to do
with the fact that there are far
more people between the ages of 50
265 Then There Were say twenty-five years ago
I wonder if it is easy to do that baby boom
a and of course it does its own this is about demographics
the fund is not in crisis it is completely
I am typical and
I mean to the extent that the fund is crisis it may be a function of congress
refusing to do anything
but congress has always periodically reallocating funds
to support the the program they can easily do so again
so this is all just a a.m.
one of those sort of the fix the debt
Washington moderate NPR
we found something that's just week can't possibly explain
unless of course we go to the expert but we're not going to do that
let's just say I do a couple anecdotes and pursue this path that will put more
pressure on cutting social security
