there's been a rise in the number of people with "disabilities" collecting disability benefits
instead of going out and earning a paycheck.

How the hell can that yahoo determine that ANYONE is on disability "to avoid work"?
seeing as how the very definition of disability is that one cannot work.

" had implicitly maligned all people with disabilities as cheats and layabouts."

Exactly.....

Damn..there is a LOT of tar brushing going on nowadays.
