I was struck by something I heard the other day on a radio show. The host of the program was making the point that he thought people are just getting meaner and nastier. I see examples of that every week when I read emails from people who, for whatever reason, really despise the Social Security disability program.
Their meanness and hatred permeate their emails as they describe people getting disability benefits as “deadbeats” and “fakers” and other terms I can’t print in this column.
