The issue now is becoming, how does one make enough to live on and feel like they are accomplishing something?
I can see why the bureaucracy is set up like it is. If you work, you don't get disability. No disability, no medicaid. If you try and "work under the table" the threat of getting caught and possible criminal fraud charges being held against you, to me isn't worth the risk.
It's like they are trying to see who blinks first. Thankfully, I have family support, but that can and will only last so long. How do others who don't have that support maintain enough to live and eat. Hell, I can't even get food stamps because I live with my mom and step dad. I could feasibly move out, but with no money and the need to have someone put my IV in 2 times a day, makes that more of a pipe dream.
This is a very depressing time indeed, but I still have my mind.

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
