What A Scam!
Instapundit asked what happens to the long-term unemployed. Apparently, many of them go on disability! "Half of the benefit recipients suffer from 'mental disorders' and 'musculoskeletal disorders' (such as back pain). 'Mood disorders' alone account for over 10% of this group. And once someone starts receiving these benefits, it's almost impossible to take the off the program. In 2011 only 1% of the recipients lost their benefits because they were no longer deemed disabled. So how much is this program costing the US taxpayer? Apparently quite a bit."
