Why Supplemental Security Income May Hurt the Economy
Now, I am certainly able to put SSI down, since I have been in the system myself. I had a disease, and I received disability payments just like everyone else. I got off of it as soon as humanly possible, but since the age of 12, I had been receiving all kinds of payments for my highly degenerative disease. Even I am off of it, though.
Fifty years ago, we did not have the current healthcare and government funding systems in place. If someone was disabled, their family took care of them and the community helped out. This was part of a natural order of group effort. Also, minor injuries were not cause for disability payments, and most people just sucked it up and got on with their lives. Now, many people who are just lazy want to get on disability so that they don't have to work a day in their lives.
Guess what, folks. This system will not last. Like every other semi-socialist or socialist system in place, things will reach some sort of head when the costs of government interference far outweigh the benefits. Something will snap, and if you have no job experience going into an economy where a lot more people need jobs, then you will starve.
SSI is part of a system which relies on constant taxation and constant government funding. A free economy is part of a system where each man gets exactly what he put in, through work or intelligence or devotion. We are moving further and further away from a free economy, and toward a system of total dependence. Not only will this system not last, but free economies which are not hampered down by twenty thousand laws are the most prosperous and successful economies. Now is not the time to start getting ready for the next free economy. Work on your education, develop higher and more evolved skills, and get into the work force now so that you have a job and a decent resume when the current system fails.
