A key senator has asked the Social Security Administration to investigate how people who live their lives role-playing as adult babies are able to get taxpayer-funded disability payments after one of them was featured on a recent reality TV episode wearing diapers, feeding from a bottle and using an adult-sized crib he built.
Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican and the Senates top waste-watcher, asked the agencys inspector general to look into 30-year-old Stanley Thornton Jr. and his roommate, Sandra Dias, who acts as his mother, saying its not clear why they are collecting Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits instead of working.
Given that Mr. Thornton is able to determine what is appropriate attire and actions in public, drive himself to complete errands, design and custom-make baby furniture to support a 350-pound adult and run an Internet support group, it is possible that he has been improperly collecting disability benefits for a period of time, Mr. Coburn wrote in a letter Monday to Inspector General Patrick P. O'Carroll Jr.
SSI is run by Social Security and pays out benefits to aged, blind and disabled people who have little or no income.
In an email response to The Washington Times, Mr. Thornton threatened to kill himself if his Social Security payments are taken away, and said the television episode showing him doing woodwork oversold his abilities.

This shit has got to stop. I know of several people who are on permanent disability. They take care of their homes, their children, shop, go to the beach, etc. But for some reason, they can never work again.

I am on permanent disability. I suffer from severe depression. When I used to work I would have to go to the Hospital 2 to 3 times a year and missed a lot of work due to depression. On disability I have only been to the hospital once in 11 years.
Some disabilities are not as easily seen as others.
Social Security considers me incompetent to run my affairs as well, my wife collects my disability. I still drive and can shop. I can not really pay the bills though the depression from doing that gets me to a point where I don't do it. Probably why they judged me fiscally incompetent.
VA rates me at 70 percent but pays me at the 100 percent rate as I am unemployable.
I am always bewildered by the indignation over some people's behavior and the excuses for others. Surely there are more important and substantive problems than this one.
"God's compassion is easy to see by us just looking at the definition of compassion. Compassion is a desire to free others from their suffering. God definitely desires to free all of us from suffering. His compassion is empathy not sympathy.
See Scripture Commentary: Matthew 9:36 explains Jesus' compassion for suffering." Bible Definition of Compassion | Access-Jesus.com

If adults acting like a baby is a disability, then 80% of the posters of the USMB should be getting their checks anytime soon!

Just think, when your baby grows up enough to go out and get a job, she gets to support big fat slobs like the one being discussed and all you can come up with is to insult board members?

Just curious, how many of you are stupid and don't realize "reality" TV is staged?
Should we seriously be basing policy on what someone sees on TV?
