A Question - if Obama is elected president - how much of an increase on our SSDI's are we talking?
I mean, Chimp has given us the LOWEST possible COLA increase, and it still doesn't help pay the bills. I can only work up to $940/month whilst keeping my SSDI, and even that at a total of only $2,000/month.

I want to see Obama to correct all of our SSDI's to match. It feels like we're earning at a 1980 wages. I hope he also backdates it 8 years because Chimp REALLY fucked up the SSDI system. 6 months wait to join for my wife who wants to go on disability, and even that 2 years wait for Medicare? Fuck that.

I want my wife to be able to go on disability as she chooses to.
