Soaring Social Security disability rolls headed for collapse

National Editorial: Soaring Social Security disability rolls headed for collapse | WashingtonExaminer.com:
"In 2011, on average, one net person has been added to Social Security's Disability Insurance rolls (and 3.3 to its retirement program) for every five net new jobs created. 
.......The federal government now spends more on disability than food stamps and welfare combined. 
In 2009, DI began paying out more in benefits than it took in from payroll taxes. 
By 2016, it is set to run out of money."
