I assume you mean SSI. If you've been reading the forum carefully, you're aware there was a sex offender activist living in Sheffield until recently. He didn't work. Guess what?
If you guessed this able bodied man, now living in Cleveland, Ohio (thank God), received SSI benefits because he was considered unemployable, you would be correct. Our tax dollars at work. How many such sex offenders are we supporting?
I understand there are also those who receive checks because they are alcoholics, and if they have other mental impairment, they even get even more each month. Jen, you and I may have very different theological ideology, but I assume we both feel success is not measured totally in money, but in giving back to the community and, yes, in the prestige we receive for what we accomplish. I doubt that's the case with these individuals.
