primitive whines about the gravy train slowing down

Oh my.

Now remember, SSDI isn't the same thing as social security disability, a fund into which one's paid while working.  SSDI is for those who never worked, period, or who didn't work enough years to pay much into social security.

A 20% reduction in SSDI benefits would drop me to $926 a month
I'd survive with the following monthly budget:

$50 property taxes
$45 property insurance

$50 water/sewer
$30 garbage pickup
$35 gas
$30 electricity
$70 phone/internet/Netflix

$60 Moped payment
$16 prescription co-pay
$41 dog medication
$150 payments on local accounts (hospital, hardware store, appliance stores)

$250 food/pet food

$827 total

Which would leave me a about $100 for any other expenses.

New thread; no primitive responses yet.

But if $926 a month is only 80% of the primitive's current windfall he gets from the hard-pressed taxpayers, that means he's presently getting circa $1,111 a month, tax free.

<<<knows working people making less than $1,111 a month.

The beneficiaries of taxpayers' bounty should never live higher than the taxpayers themselves.

<<<waiting for Pork Chops, the Odin2005 primitive, to weigh in.

It wastes 1/3 of your budget! And, while you're at it ... dump the moped and phone/internet/Netflix. We, in America, likes our poor people to look poor!

8. Sorry your dog is sick

I wrote my congress man and senators - Hope it helps. I have friends on disability as well, it is not easy for them to make it. My brother got hit by a barrel at work a huge industrial barrel, he cant walk very much anymore, too painful, his legs are crooked. He is on disability. The last thing I want to do is have him move in with me. I have a house of stairs, I would have to add a room and a bathroom but worse, he would be living with me. I don't think I could take that. I really don't want them to reduce disability.

9. Shouldn't he also do without gas and electricity?

After all, they are luxuries the Third World poor don't enjoy.

And the sad thing is, the people who want to cut SSDI really do believe that.

No, DUmmie, that's not what we believe.

We believe that people who don't work shouldn't live more luxuriously than people who do work.

14. Allow me to approach your problem like a Republican would...

$70 for phone, internet and Netflix? Internet and Netflix are a luxury, not an entitlement. you can keep the phone. That should cut you down to about $30.

$41 dog medication. Dog medication? Those benefits are for your survival, not that dog's. We can cut $41 more out of your budget, I'm sure you understand how. That takes care of the $250 pet food bill too.

So we've just cut another $321 out of your budget. You already said you had $100 left over after the 20%, so you are getting $421 more than you really need.

Obviously a 20% cut was not enough. We should take more.

Thanks for the advice,

The Republican Party.

Not trying to be a smart ass. This is really how these people think........

I dunno how Republicans in general would approach it, but yeah, that's what franksolich as an individual thinks.

Supersize benefits family claims £50,000 in handouts every year and spend cash on designer trainers and mopeds - but mother claims it isn't enough to live on

    They cost the taxpayer £50,000 a year in benefits and have hardly lifted a finger in their lives, but members of this family can still afford to blow their cash on designer trainers and mopeds.

    The Kerrigans, from Sheffield, claim tens of thousands of pounds in benefits for their taxpayer-funded lives and insist they are simply getting what they are entitled to.

    Most of them have never worked, claiming handouts straight out of school, but still say they should be given more money.

It's easy to be a smartass about this, particularly with a psychological diagnosis, but while I certainly have met people on it who were scammers, I've also known people who really should be on it, because they really can't function in the shark-infested real world, but they don't really know about the whole thing or it simply has never occurred to them to even try.

As you know, sir, I'm sort of a prime candidate to get aboard the disability gravy train; being deaf, significant speech impediments, no right elbow, massive ulcers, those sorts of things.  And now a heart "condition" too.

It's been suggested to me I dunno how many times.....

What I'd get riding the gravy train, and what income I currently earn, are about equal.  Of course, on the gravy train, I'd also get "benefits" such as free medical care.

**** that shit.  I'd rather be working.  I like being my own man, owned by no one but God and myself.

Oh my.

Now remember, SSDI isn't the same thing as social security disability, a fund into which one's paid while working.  SSDI is for those who never worked, period, or who didn't work enough years to pay much into social security.
Frank, I think you are wrong. SSDI is Social Security Disability Insurance. SSI is Supplemental Security Income. These are the definitions, from the Social Security website.
Quote
http://www.ssa.gov/disability/
Social Security Disability Insurance pays benefits to you and certain members of your family if you are "insured," meaning that you worked long enough and paid Social Security taxes.

Supplemental Security Income pays benefits based on financial need.
I bet if this DUmmie's SSDI were eliminated entirely, it would find that it could indeed work for a paycheck to pay for its moped and dog food.
