While everything you post is ALWAYS a lie, this lie also exposes the double standard the Right puts on "the black guy," as you called Obama in your OP.24. "Disability insurance entitlement explodes under Obama
Those of you paying attention have noticed that the Obama administration is actually doing what it promised: transforming America into a gigantic welfare state." Disability insurance entitlement explodes under Obama
•Since President Obama's 2009 inauguration, 5.9 million people have been added to SSDI, a 23 percent increase over the last five years (compare that to 2.5 million new jobs created during the same time period);
•SSDI rolls have swollen to almost 11 million recipients (translation: 1 in 14 U.S. workers);
First of all, over the last 6, not 5 but 6 years the number on disability increased by only 1.7 million, not the 5.9 million you lying scum source fabricated, and that number includes not only disabled workers but their spouses and children also.
Over Bush's last 6 years the number on disability increased MORE than under Obama's first 6 years, yet nobody on the hypocritical Right bitches about the explosion under Bush. Over Bush's last 6 years disability increased 2.1 million.
