Sad? Collect Disability.

Below is a simple table that shows what has happened to the number of people claiming Social Security disability payments over the last 50 years.

                     Number on Disability      % Population

1960                       455,000                    0.65%
2011                    8,600,000                    5.60%

There are two possibilities here:

A. The workplace has gotten incredibly more dangerous
B. The number of people being granted bogus disability claims has increased

You make the call.

Hint: Did you know that you can qualify for disability by claiming a "mood disorder" (otherwise known as "being sad")?
