But that would make too much sense.
Very sad indeed, but true. That whole social security system is confusing and sad.

I seriously worry that the republicans in office are going to push it to stop. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but the MN government closing down had huge effects on the disabled population. I feel invisible ~ as though most voters would much rather we simply disappear from civilization.

Curious if other disabled people feel the same?
