compassionate conservatives to cut disability
Just remember this: there are 7.5 million million disabled or dependents on the rolls, and 3 out of 10 20 year olds will become disabled....
"Advocates worry that some of the nation’s most vulnerable and needy people will be hurt by Bush’s plan to remake Social Security.
“Anything they do to the retiree formula will affect people with disabilities,” Ford said.
That’s what occurs in the main plan offered by Bush’s 2001 Social Security Commission charged with crafting a proposal for investment accounts. Promised disability benefits get reduced along with retiree benefits, in some cases up to 46 percent. The cuts were used to make the plan’s finances add up in the report."

Oh, yeah. Let's pick on the sick and lame -- they're all Democrats anyway.
Sometimes, I wish my party were as viciously partisan as theirs.

The best lack all conviction."

let's see -46% of $579....... that leaves the cats well fed. you know this is just fucking absurd.
PS....... I have just lost food stamps [ $121 ] because I make too much money[ $579 ] to qualify.
I am headed very quickly towards vicious.
