We've never really been a "real" democracy, per se. The US is a republic, not a true democracy.

Lady Sycamore applied for SSDI in early December 2002 (end-stage renal failure), and received her first check in late January 2003...6-7 weeks.

At the end, do you know what the big payoff is for an individual disabled and unable to work?
No, of course not, because you with your intellectually curious mind, never bothered to find out. $560.00 a month. That's it plus about $50.00 in food stamps. That's what we expect our disabled citizens to live on.

Would you mind providing a source for this information you're posting? Are these averages? Lady Syc pulls down just over $800 a month...of course, it isn't shit compared to what she made while working, but she'll take what she can get.
