New numbers from the Social Security Administration show more than 76,000 workers were added to the disability insurance program in July.

Since the beginning of 2013, more than 530,000 workers have been added to the Social Security disability program’s rolls. More than 8.9 million Americans are receiving disability benefits through Social Security, with an average benefit of $1,129 per month.

So Obama's plan is adding the entire country onto benefits?

I wouldn't classify people who are on SS disability as "workers".

Obama's plan is working as intended.

Many are Vets, as the gov't is cutting ridiculous wait times.

Gotta make sure people keep voting for the Democrat party.
