[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Now Johnson is repeating Elon's claim that most SS payments are fraudulent.  Big cuts are coming, but they're just going to claim they were actually "fraud."

My guess it they will start a "freeze" social security disability payments while they conduct a "review" to determine which ones are "fraud."  That would be in line with how they've done the USAID and NIH cuts.  They will go after SSDI first because that's not as politically popular.  [/quote]

SSDI is retirement for a huge percentage of blue collar workers. It's going to become real popular pretty quickly once it stops [/quote]

That shouldn't be the case. Those benefits should be carefully scrutinized. [/quote]

They are. But, if you are 60 with a high school education or less and have spent 40+ years doing manual labor, your body has probably broken down enough that you legit can’t stand and walk for 6 hours and lift and carry 20 pound s at least 3 hours a day and Qp pounds another 3, with various bending, stooping, etc.

If you have no transferrable skills or skilled work, it’s progressively y easier to qualify at 55 and 60. You’re a DMV lawyer who has more education, some skills and can sit at a desk with stretch breaks?  That’s not so easy. But hardcore manual labor over decades takes a toll. [/quote]

Add to that: age discrimination in hiring.[/quote]
