Buying votes... I wonder how many Romney voters actually think this number is going to be lower 3 or 4 years from now if "their man" wins.

By July 1967, there 74,520,000 Americans actually working and 1,145,663 workers taking disability payments. That made a ratio of 65 actual workers for each worker collecting disability. In July 1987, there were 112,634,000 people actually working and 2,759,852 people collecting disability—a ratio of about 41 actual workers to each worker collecting disability.

When President Barack Obama took office in January 2009, there were 142,187,000 people actually working and 7,442,377 workers collecting disability—a ratio of about 19 to 1.

In June, there were 142,415,000 people actually working and 8,733,461 workers claiming disability—a ratio of about 16 to 1.

In July, in addition to the 8,753,935 workers who received federal disability insurance payments, there were also 165,564 spouses of disabled workers and 1,850,653 children of disabled workers who received payments. That brought the total number of disability beneficiaries to 10,770,152.

LOL soon we'll get to 8 to 1, then maybe 4 to 1, then nobody will work.

3 to 1 what Govt is targeting to match the Soc Security.


So for every 3 workers, one will be on disability and another one would be on Soc Sec. That kind of strikes a balance. Anything worse will break it. /sarcasm.

Nm I need to learn to read. Still doesn't add up though.
