Over 50? Been unemployed for 1 year or longer?
Many of my friends in that position are just dying on the vine, their only hope to qualify as "disabled" so they can draw SSD.
Wouldn't it be better to admit someone with a less than 5% chance of finding work to the social security rolls without making liars out of them?
What say you? Should there be a permanent benefit to sustain life for an older worker who is chronically unemployable?
