I never will forget how working at the Pennsylvania Disability Determination Service in 1981 we were ordered by Pruneface’s Posse to terminate 1/3 of people on disability rolls in the state. It got to the point that examiners just randomly tossed people off the rolls to make that quota. I could not in good conscience do that and I left the DDS to take another position in the agency.

Countless people wound up committing suicide because they were terminated and every fucking roadblock was thrown in their way to get back on the rolls. All because Pruneface’s Posse were convinced that there were a bunch of lazy goldbrickers on the rolls.

Karma stung Pruneface for what he did and he got what he deserved.

My dad got kicked off of SSI because of Reagan, which my dad was receiving after developing epilepsy in Vietnam. One of the things that we found out a couple of decades later was that he could have reapplied, but that was kept secret to keep people like him off of the roles.
