[QUOTE="ronny, post: 2310512, member: 8853"] Well, of course they can drive whatever they want, and can afford. That's not the issue. I'm talking about those to whom this is just chump change; totally unnecessary to their going forward, much less to their survival. I collect Social Security retirement benefits. If I didn't, I would have to dramatically reduce my standard of living. I have a nice home (not luxurious) and nice cars (not Cadillac or Lexus), but without SS, I would be in a much leaner position. If I were rich, I would not collect it, or I would return it. Yes, I know the difference between retirement and disability benefits. Please note that the Social Security benefits for the rich is just an aside to my actual complaint about disability benefits being collected by those not qualifying. My real beef is with those who actively defraud the system, be they the individuals who collect the disability money, or those who falsify the medical issues of the former or those who use the legal system to accomplish the fraud. I've seen enough of you on this forum to have complete confidence that you are not part of the problem. However, you are only one. I applaud Coburn for drawing attention to the many. I sincerely hope that when his term expires, he continues his projects as an influencial civilian with access to Congress. He could probably use some help from you. [/QUOTE]
