"Feds Could ‘Gut’ Social Security Disability Rolls" Headline...

Well--

Take a look at the complete story here:

Feds Could ‘Gut’ Social Security Disability Rolls


And NOSSCR (National Organization of Social Security Claimant Representatives) response here:

The news organization that presented the story also gave links to a related story:

AFRICAN AMERICANS AND SOCIAL SECURITY:THE IMPLICATIONS OF REFORM PROPOSALS

Of course the conclusion is that this particular brand of reform saves the government money at the expense of the poor and disabled the most. And under such a plan, even if you start out not being so poor, if you have to wait two additional years before you qualify for benefits, you will no doubt be among the poor before it is all over.
