I Had A Dream
I HAD A DREAM!!!......that I walked into the Social Security office, fillled out the paperwork and they cut me a disability check RIGHT THERE, RIGHT NOW!
Like I said, I had a dream.
I did spend this morning at the local SS office. I decided today was the day to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance. I was planning to do this in October, after I had a few more tests done, but the idiots in Washington D.C. forced my hand.
I never thought anything done in Washington would directly affect me...until this weekend.
It starts with the House of Representatives passing their version of a budget with a provision to defund Obamacare. Whether you like or dislike Obamacare isn't the point. These fools know the Senate isn't passing the same bill and even if they did, it's getting vetoed by the guy with his name on the law. It's just making a statement and wasting everyone's time.
Next is the Senate. They're talking about staging a fillibuster. That way the bill doesn't even come to a vote. More idiots!! It's really just a big clusterfuck and a big waste of time and money.
Now you're probably wondering, how does this affect me? Like I said, I was going to apply in October. More test results and more paperwork means a better chance of being approved .
But if our politicians don't get it together in the next week or so, we could see the government shutting down.
Yeah, we've been down this road before and everything works out just in the nick of time, but what if this is really the one time the government shuts down?
Do we think that the Social Security office will stay open just to accomodate me? Yeah, right!!
So that's what led me to go down to my local SS office today. Thanks a lot politicians. You've finally directly affected my life.
In November 2014, I'll get a chance to do something that directly affects the people in Washington. Consider yourselves defunded.
