I'm in favor of the above. I'm not saying we shouldn't have a program to assist the disabled but the actual social security program is funded by payroll deductions and earmarked for retired workers who contributed to it.

And for the record I personally am acquainted with 3 people getting disability payments. 2 of them are scamming the system and both work for cash on the side, one full time.
