I'd rather mental illnesses were treated properly (and people who lie and game the system should be jailed) because if someone is coughing you know they are sick and you avoid them, if someone is going to cut your head off on a bus and eat you, you can't tell until it's too late

Reminds me of this loser I met at University once who was always bragging about not having to work. I asked him why one day and he says "because of my crippling anxiety, man." It's always some bullshit "get out of work free" card with these people, like they will literally die if they have to work.

Wish more politicans in the US would take a stance like this. Losers like the people on GAF are bankrupting the disability system by claiming disability for their self diagnosed anxiety issues and getting it.

You've got a legitimate disorder that can be backed up with medical documentation? No problem.

Gaming the system to get free checks so you can blow it all on games and other frivolous crap? Cut the cord. I'm sure a number of the people crying about this are secretly fuming over getting their free meal tickets revoked.

But even if you have a legit disorder, collecting gibs just encourages you not to learn to cope with that disorder and lead the best life you can. That's what welfare does to people who could work, after all.

There is no way to deal with the excesses of the welfare state except to get rid of it entirely. The "good" news is that's going to happen eventually no matter how much tax money any government takes in. Because "entitlement" programs only grow, they never shrink.

and yet support for the Tories continues to grow.

Go have a riot over this and watch it grow even more.

With 17 years of chronic incurable disease fucking up nerves and muscles to the point where I sometimes have to call in sick every workday of a month I say, if the disability can be treated reliably then they should not get disability pay. It only makes sense to try to fix the problem instead of brushing it under the mat and giving taxpayers another babysitting gig.

From the perspective I have in Sweden that is. Where people on the last month of terminal cancer and no living relatives get denied disability and support, but educated and healthy inside and out brats get the fast lane to early retirement because they haven't found any work, and the people cheating the system from money have no problem cheating millions out of them and out of the country.

If you can treat it, beat it.
