Something about the last four years disables people!
SSDI rolls continue to climb as more and more Americans are, ostensibly, unable to work due to disability.
During President Barack Obama’s first term, the number of Americans collecting federal disability insurance increased by 1,385,418 to a record 8,827,795.
As a result, there is now one person collecting disability in this county for every 13 people working full-time. Forty-two years ago, in December 1968, there were 51 people working full-time in this country for each person collecting disability.
Some sort of plague is disabling Americans at a rate never before seen and no one seems to care.
Does anyone have any idea what it could be?

Massive unemployment resulting from failed GOP economic policy.
People backed into a finacial corner will seek whatever path they can find to get out.

Oh dear failed gop economic policy? If only they were the only ones in charge of policy the last 12 years you might have a point
The phrase "its the government, stupid" comes to mind.
And many judges are approving SSDI at the hearings which occur after being denied twice.
One judge had a 99% approval record last year of all the denied claims he heard and overturned to "approved".
That number probably includes people on SSI - people who qualify but never worked and the majority would probably be children under 18 and the elderly.

Recession. In the past many people continued working although they would have qualified for disablitity, but now that they are out of jobs, they finally apply for the benefits.
