Yep, personally acquainted with 3 in that category.  All were heavy and had trouble doing the manual labor their lack of training left them, so all 3 ate their way onto disability.  Hit the "magic weight." and your a taxpayer burden forever.

On the other hand, I have a brother that gets headaches worse than the horrible migraines he's had all his life.  These are so much more severe that he has been known to just double over and drop when they hit.  During a scan to find the problem, the veins in his brain contracted so severely that it took 10x the expected time for the contrast to finally clear.  Aside from the pain, he was truly fearful they had blinded him for life.  They've spent thousands of dollars on specialists to try to find a cure...but no one can help him.  Yet for 4 years, he didn't qualify for disability.  I guess he should have just gotten fat...


And depressed, of course.  I think that is the trick, the depression, because no matter how good the mental health professional,you can't really PROVE someone is faking those symptoms

Well, I pretty much answered this the other day...before Dumb Don asked the question. Invited them over to discuss it...crickets! Oh, and H5 MrsSmith, awesome and workable solution.

Anyone that knows me personally, including a few here on CC, will tell you I'm not as socially conservative as probably most here, but when it comes to fiscal matters, I doubt there is anyone to the right of me. I cannot f'n STAND a fiscal liberal.

Other than abortion I am libertarian on the social issues, on the fiscal issues I'm at least as right as you are. I can't stand fiscal liberals either, they think that they are owed everything just because their mothers didn't abort them.

I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

I still remember that exchange with Greenbriar, appearing on page 3 of this thread.  My jaw was dropped wide open.  The entitlement!  The cluelessness!  I was embarrassed for her.
