		<description><![CDATA[&quot;So Disability fraudsters are getting on average $1,111 a month.&quot;  In Disability, add in Subsidized housing EBT and maybe 2 or more people in a houshold with the same benefits, you can live pretty good off the dole.  
 
&quot;Wall Street fraudsters, though far fewer in number, are raking in a far larger share of the nation&#039;s wealth.&quot; 
 
The &quot;ster&quot; at the end of the noun fraud implies action. Although decietful, at least they are working and doing something for their wealth.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mr Prevention, you sound so educated. 
Your point, though, about reduced childhood mortality rates resulting in massive increases in adult disabled claims is nonsense.  
Medical advances lead to healthier infants AND ADULTS (stupid diet and lifestyle choices notwithstanding).

A stronger case could be made that having a job to go to, which requires on to rise out of self-centered, self-pitying idleness, is exactly what great numbers of the &quot;emotionally disabled&quot; need. 

As for Wall Streeters, though many are hardly saints,
at least they are accomplishing things in a day,
and the money that they earn comes from people who have freely invested,
as opposed to being taken by the authorities from other people&#039;s earnings. 

These sources you quote from sound fresh in your mind. 
Something you read in a course you recently finished, perhaps?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More than 99 percent of all SSDI beneficiaries remain in the program until retirement age...The program provides an average of $1,111 in monthly income to eligible workers with a physical or mental impairment that will last at least 12 months or result in death, according to Social Security. 
 
&quot;It is exceptionally difficult &#8212; for all practical purposes, impossible,&quot; writes Eberstadt, &quot;for a medical professional to disprove a patient&#039;s claim that he or she is suffering from sad feelings or back pain.&quot; 
In other words, many people are gaming or defrauding the system. This includes not only disability recipients but health care professionals, lawyers and others who run ads promising to get you disability benefits. 
 
So Disability fraudsters are getting on average $1,111 a month. I think that the Wall Street fraudsters, though far fewer in number, are raking in a far larger share of the nation&#039;s wealth. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Nick Eberstadt looks at statistics. But, his scholarship isn&#039;t wide-ranging. 
He doesn&#039;t make connections. Unless they are shallow and support his ideological predisposition. 
Most stuff just aint about politics and morality. I know that most denizens of this website (and greater Right-wingville) think we&#039;re all living in Torah-world where everytime the Israelites met tragedy it was because they turned away from the one true God. It&#039;s much more complex than that. Try kicking the moral indignation habit. Venture out beyond the echo chamber. Turn on your patience for the long, hard, disciplined work of real learning.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BTW, antibiotics which save so many lives by killing bad microbes, are only now coming under  
scrutiny for killing beneficial microbes. In fact, the whole paradigm of bad microbes is being challenged. In the early 1980&#039;s, Australian medical researchers Robin Warren and Barry Marshall identified the bacteria, Helicobacter pylori, as the cause of gastric and peptic ulcers. Since the mid-nineties ulcers are routinely treated with antibiotics which wipe out that bacteria. In 2005 Warren and Marshall won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this. But, oops, now it looks like having H. pylori in your stomach somehow confers protection against asthma. So asthma is epidemic, and  I&#039;m sure some of those asthmatics are on disability. 
Has nothing to do with politics. It&#039;s just blowback. Normal with technological progress. Like the plumbing which made the Roman Empire mighty and great, but also doomed it, by lead poisoning. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before modern public works delivered clean water and removed sewage, and before 
antibiotics, and before modern neonatal medicine, infant mortality was high. 
Infants who would have perished now live long lives. Many (not all) of them are  
impaired. So they can&#039;t work. So they go on disability.  
Any other questions?  ]]></description>
