Tom Cotton says people that "choose" Social Security Disability over full-time employment cause their communities to become meth and heroin addicts:
"Not only that, but once this spiral begins, communities could begin to suffer other social plagues as well, such as heroin or meth addiction and associated crime.
Love this line too, like getting disability is as easy as filling out some form:
"When a county hits a certain level of disability usage, disability becomes a norm."

He really can't help it, I think he was dropped on his head as a child, or was it kicked

(111,274 posts)1. Tom Cotton says a lot of stupid things. He was the one who tried to put the kibosh
on the deal with Iran by sending them a nasty letter signed by his fellow wingnuts. Sensible people haven't listened to him since.
Unfortunately, his constituents are even stupider than he is.

in the head by a mule at the farm. I can't remember, he is from Arkansas and has been flying to Kansas to the magical Koch brothers too many times. That must be it, he ran out of oxygen on the flights.

so little time.
The thought of any of these cretins anywhere near the White House is enough to send shivers down the spine.
