You are on SSI Disability yet want government to train you in heavy equipment?

do people have to die of hunger before they are considered poor?

I am on it because of a back problem but I can do a job that I can sit down at....you do know people get SSI for MANY reasons....Its probably hereditary since my father also has chronic back problems....needs a 3rd surgery but they refuse since he is so old along with his knees....SSI its supposed to be temporary anyways.

Now if they want to INVEST in someone who WANTS to work,pay taxes etc then I am more than happy to go do the training...no problems at all I can do it tomorrow.I got NO SHAME in taking from a government and rich jerk offs who steal my and my wife's labor who will put my kids in debt if they decide to go to college or who make money off of poor kids who find the only way out of poverty is the military the elite use to invade other poor countries to steal their natural resources. Truth and Fact.
You are recieving SSI Disability and are able to work so long as government trains you.

How has the country screwed you?

You are not working. You are recieving SSI benefits. How is government stealing from you?

Sounds like you might be in a low income situation and don't pay any federal income taxes.

There is a tendency for those who choose not to take responsibility for themselves to blame. The Internet allows them to connect with like minded people and reinforce their perceptions that they are owed something. Someone has to pay, eh.

I don't feel like explaining it. This country cares about the 1% who dictate how things are run not about the workers who WANT to work a job they enjoy and don't mind paying taxes...but since that won't happen any time soon I will do my best to be a drain on the government and help bankrupt it sooner than later.

He must be referring to Rich Jerk offs like you and me who have to work for a living and pay taxes so he can continue to scam the system.

She has suggested that as well.This country is made for rich by rich etc Its not for us normal people any longer unfortunately.
My husband was a stay at home dad for many years.

He was a volunteer paramedic/ EMT and coached children's sport teams. Volunteering in some capacity is an excellent way to gain experience , make contacts and keep your resume active.

I am not tracking your disability vs the expectation government should train you for a job related to heavy equipment.

No, that's what you're saying. Now I'm saying you should study economics. And probably logic, especially how to develop proper reality based definitions.
