Disability Epidemic: If those on Disability in the U.S. started their own Country, it would be more populated than Greece

Welcome to Disabilia (formerly Greece):
The total number of people in the United States now receiving federal disability benefits hit a record 10,962,532 million in April, which exceeds the 10,815,197 people who live in the nation of Greece. 
[...] 
April was the 195th straight month that the number of American workers collecting federal disability payments increased. The last time the number of Americans collecting disability decreased was in January 1997. That month the number of workers taking disability dropped by 249 people—from 4,385,623 in December 1996 to 4,385,374 in January 1997. 
As the overall number of American workers collecting disability has increased, the ratio of full-time workers to disability-collecting workers has decreased.

Growing up as I did in multiple places where my white face was in the minority, I have been overwhelmed by diversity & do not believe in 'the race card' being played from either side. I got laid off in '09 after being with the co. for 15 yr. when the oppressive dictates of the current administration closed the co. down. At my age (60) and the different maladies & 'disabilities' I have lived with for yr. asking for no special treatment, I could not bribe my way into a job. You know something is wrong when you cannot qualify as a WalMart greeter. But yet I do not qualify for disability. I have been told off the record that I am the wrong color and religion.
