I didn't blame Bush. You blamed Obama....but you couldn't back up how. You should do that or confess you told a fib.

CNN might lend some insight into the real reasons
We're discussing disability.

Neither!

While the Great Recession and bond meltdown took place on President Bush's watch, the deregulation that turned Wall Street into a too-big-to-fail crap shoot was signed off on by President Clinton, with the support of most Republicans and moderate Democrats.

Of course liberals opposed this precursor to the destruction of our economy, so you can't blame them.


Nothing is apparently ever Obama's Obama's fault.

For those considered disabled to double in 5 years, something has changed. It can't be explained away by land mines and aging baby boomers. Maybe policy interpretation is more fair now, maybe policy is less fair now, however policy or policy interpretation has changed under Obama................and again it's ever increasing giveaways.

Still waiting for you to explain how its the president's fault. The reporters at CNN did some homework on this issue and put fourth a thoughtful explanation. You made something up and posted it in a forum.
See the difference?

He sets the economic policy. obama has set the tone of "free money" and the govt will take care of one's needs.

The employment picture in this country has gotten worse since he became president.

And the facts back up that argument up as much as Boilerman's !

PJ, there's one reasonable explaination. There making it easier to qualify as disabled. Hell, CNN tells us that more people become disabled because of the economy. Why is that?

That's wonderful. Obama's government tells us that there are 3% fewer American are working today than 5 years ago. It's dropped from 66% to 63%. Actually, as a percentage of those working it dropped by 4.5%.

Doctors decide who is eligible for disability, not the US president. Perhaps Boilerman can back up his statement that Obama is somehow, magically handing out disability vouchers to people.


Are these the same "doctors" who prescribe medical marijuana for headaches or are they different ones?

Who is "they"? The president? Here is a lesson in Constitution 101: The president can adjust policy in one of two ways: (1) signing legislation (2) an executive order.

If your reasonable explanation is not complete BS then you can link to the policy adjustment in either case. But you haven't done that. Instead, your proof lies in a sentence that ends with a question mark.

(Oh...and the article I posted gave many reasons for the increase - not the least of which is an aging population that is much larger than the generations preceding it.)
