[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 5187, member: 1722"] I guess my view of social security disability in a case like Boo's is different than yours. I see it as a safety net. A meager one, yes, but a safety net nonetheless. What would happen to Boo if you & husband were suddenly incapacitated due to injury or illness? What if husband were laid off? What if you died an early death? The SSI could be used to improve Boo's life (and yours) to provide additional services. You and husband have been paying into this system since you were teenagers, I imagine. You didn't expect to have a profoundly disabled son at that point, but you do. Look upon the taxes collected as a monthly settlement of sorts that you and husband set up in the event he wouldn't be able to hold down a job and provide for himself. Just my .02 [img]:wink:[/img] [/QUOTE]
