I think we would all agree that Forbes is not a leading voice from the left in American politics. But even they expressed dismay at what the House Republicans have done to Social Security disability. A balanced and reasoned take on the issue appeared at Forbes.com. The author, Howard Gleckman, notes that there are a lot of reasons why the disability trust fund is imperiled. Some of them have to do with demographics. A lot of them have to do with politics. But, as Gleckman notes, everyone all along the political spectrum shares an interest in seeing the trust fund managed properly.
