There are many people who live a productive life with past abuses and trauma. They work and they seek help while working… and if you read the last paragraph in the very link you provided, you will see this person is not ‘disabled’…

“Senator Coburn questions the sincerity of the 30-year-old’s benefits since the man dresses appropriately in public, drives himself to errands, builds custom furniture and runs an internet support group.”

“According to the 30-year-old’s website, the man worked as a security guard for a year and a half before mental problems and trauma from childhood abuse made it impossible for him to hold a job. He has received disability for the majority of the last ten years.”

If you want to criticize the medical diagnosis or the rules for disability for the mentally ill that is legitimate. But “living like a baby” is not what makes him eligible for benefits.

I think it is pretty hypocritical, pathetic actually, that virtually none of the conservative bloggers on the internet has explained this story clearly. Why should people believe what they read when the authors are as lazy and biased as the mainstream media?

That is why his benefits were not rescinded after the review. Should his legitimate benefits be cut because he lives a strange life style?

But there is a huge and hidden cost to ANY welfare program.
Whenever we decide give subsidies, no matter how legitimate, we create an extra “wedge” of wasted benefits.
For example, say we make sure everyone gets at least $20,000 a year. If you make say $18k, your benefit is $2k.
But if next year your income rises to $19k, we can’t just cut your benefit to $1k. That would be like a 100% marginal tax rate. You would never try to raise your income if you lost dollar-for-dollar.
So we always taper off the benefits and tax payers lose the excess.
The few remaining taxpayers need to understand this extra deadweight cost hidden in every new political scheme.
