Joffe-Walt claims she spent years investigating "disability" when it's very clear she hasn't, nor did she avail herself of any of the myriad experts on the topic -- like those at Lance's dinner party.

Also, I'm glad Lance pointed out the demographic argument, because I was going nuts that no one else had -- that one of the reasons there are more people receiving disability benefits today is because the Boomers are getting older.
