11-5-09 – The Trap of Disability

The Trap

Let me give you this. And let’s help you get dependent on this. And then let’s get you therapy and counseling with it. And then with the new law, Part D, you will get all the medications you need and want. And let’s get you housing. Let’s give you more than a room but a one-bedroom apartment 5 min from the beach.

Let’s put you through graduate school, and let’s give you student loans in addition to SSDI/SSI. Let’s give you major stressors, your brother dying, the man who raised you after your father, he gets Alzheimer’s and dies also. Your stepmother dies and leaves you almost $100,000. You break up with your girlfriend, she leaves you. Welcome to stress overload.

You act out and get evicted from your apartment. You live in your car and then turn in so it will be repossessed. You volunteer for Habitat For Humanity in a state of mania, and you give them all of your contractor’s tools, everything. You live like a fugitive in abandoned houses on an Army base, what’s left of your belongings are stolen – all family pictures, everyt hing.
