Congress is now so gerrymandered that only a few seats will be at risk for incumbents. There are enough Tea baggers in those districts with the average voter being apathetic and illiterate newswise, so most of these incumbents will be returned to office. Congressmen no longer need to heed the will of their constituents--they reap huge sums from Wall Street and the 1% so they can dominate the media and hookwink most voters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-62936741311227703742015-09-14T03:36:45.804-04:002015-09-14T03:36:45.804-04:00Isn't this why they have Mental Health Profess...Isn't this why they have Mental Health Professionals.These guys are not out to reform they are out to cut these people need to be FIRED Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-58464973117425646012015-09-13T20:12:24.482-04:002015-09-13T20:12:24.482-04:00Republicans always like to harm people it seems wi...Republicans always like to harm people it seems with they're ideas bite them in the ass right in the middle of the 2016 Elections they will lose a lot of seats I don't see them even see have these ideas passing Obamas desk he isn't out until 2017 and once the public finally gets wind of these ideas they are going to lose 2016Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-76289772891581441282015-09-12T08:47:53.286-04:002015-09-12T08:47:53.286-04:00There's a lot of science out there on the ment...There's a lot of science out there on the mental and physical functional decline that occurs due to aging. That can be helpful input into the process. I doubt seriously that in the past 25 or 250 years time has ceased exerting the same influence it always has on human minds and bodies. Perhaps, for those with access to excellent care and who have exercised the right life choices (a very low percentage of the population unfortunately), it is more likely to be somewhat ameliorated. <br /><br />Living longer does not mean functioning better once you reach a certain age. It's not logical to assume longer life expectancy equates to better functionality at age 50, 55, or so on. The skyrocketing need for home health and nursing home care illustrates that to a significant extent.<br /><br />The other factor is that SSA desperately needs more effective shortcuts in the adjudication process like the grid rules and the listings. If congress won't adequately fund for staffing to reduce the backlog (which seems a given) then more categories like the grids and the listings need to be established to handle claims expeditiously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-41421206605154696392015-09-12T05:12:49.699-04:002015-09-12T05:12:49.699-04:00Oh boy here we go .......

That includes the door greeter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-28227509062300780962015-09-11T21:26:45.702-04:002015-09-11T21:26:45.702-04:00We should exempt work performed after age 55 that ...We should exempt work performed after age 55 that is not comparable or performed for significantly less wages than the work they did before turning age 55 as being considered relevant work they can return to. For example one of you highly paid lawyers or a brick mason who gets a job as a greeter at Walmart. If he has mental limitations in the one case or is limited to light work at age 57 we would not be able to deny saying you can still be a Walmart greeterAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-84002362340085492182015-09-11T13:59:03.921-04:002015-09-11T13:59:03.921-04:00Hope they just change the regs concerning illitera...Hope they just change the regs concerning illiteracy and call it a day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-19911696893975813932015-09-11T13:53:51.424-04:002015-09-11T13:53:51.424-04:00I wonder if SSA will join the movement of compassi...I wonder if SSA will join the movement of compassion for those with criminal records and add criminal history as a vocational factor it considers.
