Your on crack.
I have a friend who is disabled. He has Hydrocephalus, more commonly known as "water on the brain". He's full retired from the US Army after two years, and fully retired from the US Post Office after working there for two years. He also gets state disability, and social security. He lives in a nice, brand new house, and drives around in a brand new huge truck. He worked four years of his life, two in the military and two at the post office as a fucking janitor, hasn't worked for twenty years, and pulls in over $100k a year - all because he "might get headaches".
For every one person who needs to be on welfare, there's a dozen people abusing it.
Welfare was supposed to be a temporary thing for six months when you were down on your luck. It's become a way of living now.
