Okay Poppi, I'm going to try my best to be civil here, even though you are definitely not! Your post was offensive and pointless, could not have helped anyone except for giving you an opportunity to vent your own rage over whatever you're dealing with.First: to even be eligible, you have to have worked enough years and paid into the social security system during those years. That's money taken out of my paychecks while I was a single mother struggling through college and law school- it is not "something for nothing".
Second: they make the rules, the criteria, and if one applies and is approved there is no slacking involved- it's a program our _entire government_ endorses to give people a way to get back on their feet. You feel your opinion outweighs the entire United States government?
Maybe if you'd been depressed since age 7, been raped and assaulted, found the love of your life then gotten pregnant with twins who were stillborn you'd be a bit less judgemental. Holding your dead babies in your arms and having to be sedated to have them pried away from you...imagine that and then tell me I'm whining.
Anyway, I'll be reevaluated in a year but long before that I will have my law degree and be a productive member of society (as I was during years of HELL before as well). Wonder where your poisonous attitude will land _you_?
What I was doing was trying to explain the process. They make the rules, we can only apply (or have someone do it for us- in my case I thought I was only answering questions about medicaid- see above post) and await a decision.
Your post really was out of line. Hostile and completely without benefit to anyone. Punch a pillow or something next time for heaven's sake. We don't need your venom here. I may have lots of problems but at least I'm not nasty and judgmental to others for no reason except to make myself feel superior- which is what you appear to have done.
Good luck with that anger/nastiness/cynicism problem. It's hurting you more than anyone, I'm sure.
