The disability pot has been boiling for a few years. This weeks news is the SS disability program, along with all of the other government outreach programs, is unsustainable. Redefining disabilities, expanding qualifiers, and unrelenting outreach have all brought it to the brink. Now, to fix it, the administration is requesting an additional 4 billion dollars for fraud detection and prevention, with a forecast savings of 12 billion dollars over the next 10 years. In the real world, off campus and outside the beltway, that would be a marginal ROI, but in the shadows, we will never know if our monies were spent wisely. Why, in the real world, the author of the proposal would neglect to attach his or her name to it. Yet, in the shadows, it becomes a proud moment when a mere 4 billion today can possibly reduce expenses by less than 3x that much over TEN YEARS. My calculator won't do billions so I am using my fingers and the rate of return is something less than the growth in baseline spending. I should put my calculator aside and be down on one knee offering thanks that our government agencies continue to be populated by our best and brightest.
