MY MENTALLY RETARDED 10 YEAR OLD SON RECEIVES SSI AND JUST THIS
MONTH I
GOT A LETTER FROM SOCIAL SECURITY THAT HIS PAYMENT FOR DECEMBER
WOULD BE
REDUCED 80 DOLLARS DUE TO AN ADVANCED CHILD SUPPORT PAYMENT I
RECEIVED
FROM HIS DAD A MONTH EARLY BECAUSE HIS DAD WAS GOING ON VACATION.
MY
QUESTION? WILL MY SONS FUTURE PAYMENTS GO BACK TO THE NORMAL
PAYMENT?

Why don't you ask THEM?
Anyway, it really shouldn't matter because regardless of how much
money you get, either way it's all FREE!

Chris, if you had any notion of how much money, time and energy it
takes to look after a handicapped child, you wouldn't be so quick to
criticize her.

This country needs a decent health care program so that $80 is not a
major concern for struggling families!
How about daycare support for working parents too that a can't
afford the staggering costs of private daycare centers?

There needs to be some form of assistance for parents of severely
handicapped children but NOT from social security. This actually
should be handled by a local agency instead of the bureaucratic
nightmare of the federal government. The larger the government gets,
the worse of a job it does.

No problem with such government agency so long as it operates on a
voluntary basis. Anyone who wants to participate can do so, and those
who don't will have the right to not do so. Not unlike any other
insurance operation.

Taxing those who chose to remain childless to pay for things like
daycare for those who chose to breed is unfair. Only those who chose
to bring children into the world should be paying the costs of
children. Thirdly, the government is the best place to screw up
anything. If anyone thinks the health care in the US is bad now, just
let the government have control of it for a few years. $300 hammers
will be nothing compared to the cost of medical supplies and
equipment after the government gets through with it plus the idea is
that if the gov't is paying for your medical treatment, it'll also
demand you endure their choices of lifestyle, treatment, physicians
and medications, perhaps even where one lives and/or works, etc., or
no health benefit for failing to follow the gov't's mandate... "for
your own good", of course.

You forgot one thing, the government people also have to get THEIR cut
for managing your personal medical care. I don't know about anyone
else, but I prefer to eliminate paying some middle man when it comes
to my healthcare. Believe it or not, it's actually cheaper.


I also do not want the government to dictate my lifestyle under the
guise of controlling "healthcare costs".
