I find it hard to believe that it takes an inquiry from a US Senator to get the Social Security Administration to take a look at subsidies to people who act like babies for a living. (Washington Times<\/a> link)<\/p>\n

Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican and the Senate\u2019s top waste-watcher, asked the agency\u2019s inspector general to look into 30-year-old Stanley Thornton Jr. and his roommate, Sandra Dias, who acts as his \u201cmother,\u201d saying it\u2019s not clear why they are collecting Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits instead of working.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven that Mr. Thornton is able to determine what is appropriate attire and actions in public, drive himself to complete errands, design and custom-make baby furniture to support a 350-pound adult and run an Internet support group, it is possible that he has been improperly collecting disability benefits for a period of time,\u201d Mr. Coburn wrote in a letter Monday to Inspector General Patrick P. O’Carroll Jr.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, but they have no problem taking money from veterans instead of cutting the metaphorical umbilical cord to these creeps. And oh, big baby Stanley responds to the Times;<\/p>\n

In an email response to The Washington Times, Mr. Thornton threatened to kill himself if his Social Security payments are taken away, and said the television episode showing him doing woodwork oversold his abilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou wanna test how damn serious I am about leaving this world, screw with my check that pays for this apartment and food. Try it. See how serious I am. I don\u2019t care,\u201d the California man said. \u201cI have no problem killing myself. Take away the last thing keeping me here, and see what happens. Next time you see me on the news, it will be me in a body bag.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Stanley, don’t talk, just do it…save the taxpayers the hassle of an IG investigation, cuz we don’t care either.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
