From the Sacramento Bee: More workers across California are leaving the workforce and applying for federal disability benefits – and the Sacramento region is leading the way.
About 57,000 residents in the four-county area receive monthly Social Security disability benefits, double the number from 15 years ago, new federal data show. Working-age adults in Sacramento are 40 percent more likely to be on disability than workers elsewhere in California.
Many of the same factors driving up disability rolls across the state are playing out in a more pronounced way here: an aging workforce; a rough economy; and expanded regulations regarding who is eligible. http://www.sacbee.com/2013/07/21/5583000/the-four-county-sacramento-region.html Let's see. Continued high unemployment rate, almost 50,000,000 on food stamps and skyrocketing amount of people on disability.Yep, aren't we just glad we elected President Obama to cure our economic woes.And most of those on unemployment, on welfare, on disability and food stamps are probably Obama supporters.Look what blind loyalty got you.Suckers.
