Bill To Update Disability Benefits Wins Crucial GOP sponsor Rob Portman: Supplemental Security Income program hasn’t been changed in decades

[basquebromance]

Disability advocates were arrested at Sen. Rob Portman's Columbus office back in 2017...the pressure worked!

Portman: “Rising costs and inflation is hurting all Americans, but especially our nation’s seniors and those with disabilities. Yet the [SSI] program that serves these vulnerable populations hasn’t been updated in decades and punishes them for trying to save responsibly.”

I know a guy on 100% disability that not long ago took the tax free cash he earns on the side (and stashes away in his gun safe) and paid cash for a 2021 4X4 F250.

He always makes sure his bank account has less than 2k in it and laughs/brags about it. The bastard pays hardly nothing in state/local taxes.

His ex-wife turned him in and nothing was done about it. SSI is a huge scam. Piss on Portman.
