I would like to know why the goverment just hands out the working class tapayers money to drug users and alcoholics who has never worked a day in their lives.Do you people ever do investigations on these people or just go through the motions? The people who need it get denied. The system needs overhauled and some new faces in goverment.In my opion Depression and bi-polar does not qualfy for goverment payments.I am tired of my tax dollars going to people who know how to manipulate the system to get money and get their drugs from goverment sponsed Methadone clinics.

This message is directed toward Oran Ream, Sr.

I am a 26 year old mother of two and I have suffered from depression and bipolar disorder for since I was a child. First if you knew what bipolar disorder was you would not have made that comment. Some cases of bipolar disorder are very serious where you cannot keep a job because of your mood swings. I have bipolar disorder and I was fired because I had mood swings at work. So you should do your research first. I have worked since I was 13 I am entitled to my disability if I cannot work because of a mental illness. There are some people that use the system the way you say but not all. Look up bipolar disorder, most people can be treated and live normal lives but there are some that cannot.
