“Communities can fall apart when too many people collect Social Security Disability Insurance, leading to "social plagues" like heroin addiction, Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said Monday.
In a speech at the conservative Heritage Foundation, Cotton noted a correlation between a decline in population and an increase in the number of people collecting disability benefits in several Appalachian counties.
"It’s hard to say what came first or caused the other: population decline or increased disability usage -- or maybe economic stagnation caused both," Cotton said. Either way, he said, there seems to be a "disability tipping point," beyond which passively receiving benefits becomes a way of life and enterprise withers.”
