"Reprehensible and Repugnant"

"For every 100 industrial workers in December 2010, there were 73
"workers" receiving disability payments. Between January 2010 and
December 2011, the U.S. economy created 1.73 million nonfarm jobs - but
almost half as many (790,000) workers became disability recipients. This
trend is not a Great Recession phenomenon: In the 15 years ending in
December 2011, the United States added 8.8 million nonfarm private
sector jobs - and 4.1 million workers on disability rolls.

The radiating corruption of this entitlement involves the collaboration
of doctors and health care professionals who certify dubious disability
claims. The judicial system, too, is compromised in the process of
setting disability standards that enable all this."
