Re: The number of people on Disability doesn't double in four years as a result of normal attrition rates. It SCREAMS "FRAUD",and the president is doing NOTHING about it. Can you imagine the CEO of a private disability insurance company tolerating this?

That is false. In early 2008 we had a.little.over 7M people on disability...we now have 8.5M...not double in 4 years. Similar increases were experienced during Bush years. From Dec 2005 to Jan 2008 the SS disabled rolls increased by over a million recepients...that happened during W tenure and in better economic times...so was Bush condoning fraud too? Or is there more to the story and partisanship in the telling?
