Out Of The Way Cripple

   By Emelius at 12:01 AM

      MSNBC reports that American's with disabilities may have their benefits cut under the proposed Social Security cut. Disabled Americans who have to work less or not at all draw from Social Security at an earlier age than retirees. The White House has yet to address a way to transfer funds from a SS Tax to a private investment account and still have money to take care of those who are unable to work. There is no lack of speculators though.


Retirement and disability benefits are calculated using the same formula, so if future promised retirement benefits are cut, then disability benefits also would be reduced — unless the program is somehow separated.
