[QUOTE="RickN, post: 2772533, member: 8854"] As someone on disability who would much rather work, I feel you guys pain. There is a whole lot of fraud in the disability system and every other government program. That is a given. Even before I ended up on it I was complaining about the fraud and now it really ticks me off, but I also realize that I can not do any of the jobs I have training for and at my age retraining is pretty much a joke because nobody wants to hire an older worker that falls down a lot. Some days you may see me walking without my cane, other days I do not walk very much at all, and never without pain. You do not see me drag myself out of bed to my walker to try and work the pain from my legs when they hurt to much to sleep. You do not see me fall out of the shower when my legs take a vacation without me. You do not see me taking a dozen pills a day just to function. Hate the fraud and waste in government but know what the hell you are talking about before opening your mouth because I used to be just like you and it bit me in the butt. It might you some day too.
