We met a mother and son on a month long road trip at a gas station this morning. My wife asked the woman how was it that the son at such a long vacation and she said, oh we are both on disability...It does seem to run in families. Disability fraud is huge. There was absolutely no visible signs why they are both collecting, but if they can travel for a month they certainly can do some jobs. Why not consider that the monthly amount be paid as a subsidy to employers and have them show up and do some work. It would reduce some costs and make them productive people... I had a guy with MS work for me for years. It took him 45 minutes to get dressed in the morning and during his last 5 years with us I hired someone to do his job but kept him fully employed too. If he can show up for work, so can that lazy family.
