60 minutes disability scam

Sixty minutes took a look at disability practices especially in West
Virginia.

I thought they would be checking out New York, with focus on Long
Island. However West Virginia is far more interesting....the doctor and
the lawyer sharing the same office.

West Virginia???? A Red State????? Oh, you mean the problem isn't just inner-city blacks living in Blue States? Or Mexicans who sneaked across the border to get the goodies?

I know people, actually I have relatives, who have been on the dole for years but vote Republican because they're "...tired of Obama giving out goodies to his homies." And, of course, they used to work so they deserve it.

I like how Coburn glosses over the fact that the problem accelerated starting in 2006 and continues to this day because there are no jobs in places like W. Virginia.

I've only met 1 Rep from WV. The rest are dyed in the wool old school union/miner type Dems.

My good friend worked his whole life until recently. Some sort of whole body arthritis - he can hardly walk.

I don't remember - I'll have to ask. It sounds familiar, I dunno.

Btw, they teach the 3 rs' in WV schools - Readin', Ritin', and the Road to Cleveland

Up 20% in the last 6 years, a budget of 135 billion.

At the beginning of the program I thought they were going to feature
those guys over Long Island NY who I mistakenly believed had a lock on this scam.

Good Lord everyone must know something smells when the lawyers are advertising round the clock.
