Mal,
I agree completely that the individuals seeking disability because they are not working and need financial support are committing fraud. I actually saw them when I was working as a physician because they wanted me to verify their disability. I always refused. There seemed to be a whole attorney industry that was working to help get them on disability, I found it very disgusting. One reason that I am happy that I retired.
I do think that there are many people who will start working if good or full time jobs become available. I really like how Trump is personally getting involved with industry and job creation. I am hopeful.
Mike
