    The Inability to Speak English Shouldn’t Qualify as ‘Disability’ for Social Security0

    The Social Security Disability Insurance system was established as a social safety net program for workers who lose the physical or mental ability to work at a sustainable gainful activity level.  It has become so much more than that.

A young Abraham noticed that the head of one of these idols had fallen off during transport. He had a revelation: these were false gods made by humans;

    The Strangest Thing About the Debate0

    It struck me about one hour into what Politico calls “the snarling incoherence of the latest Democratic presidential debate” that was “painfully hard to follow.”  What precisely was so painful?  It was not what divided this gaggle of politicians vying for your affection. It was what united them. They all agree that their job is to have
