@camille @futurebird @mekkaokereke I worked with a corporate attorney who was losing her eyesight, and she was awarded SSDI at the hearing stage. Between her and her husband, I reckon their wealth was around $10 million. Family of four.

Clearly, she didn't need SSDI.

Yes, ensure the health and well being (housing, school, wages, etc.) for all, w/o means testing.

But the point is that while I do not favor means testing, the wealthy should not available themselves of these public goods.

Because they do not need them.

This is economic efficiency on the one hand, and compassion on the other.
