Misconceptions Regarding Social Security Disability

Social Security is a social insurance program funded primarily by payroll taxes. Collected in accordance with the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, this program constitutes the federal government’s largest expenditure. 

Three Common Social Security Myths

Social Security is a controversial topic. Nevertheless, many opinions regarding this issue are based primarily on myth. Following are some common misconceptions regarding Social Security:
  • Social Security will be unsustainable by 2037
  • Social Security benefits are earned
  • The Social Security program is bankrupt
While claims such as these are based on some truth, they are nevertheless greatly exaggerated. For example, while the federal government is in substantial debt, the Social Security system still distributes funds to those with disabilities. Additionally, disabled individuals without gainful employment can still, in certain instances, apply for Social Security benefits. Furthermore, our Social Security system will arguably retain its sustainability long after 2037. Unfortunately, myths such as these regarding Social Security often discourage people from applying who genuinely need it to survive.

The Advantages of Dry Cleaning Versus Traditional Washing Machines

Laundering and dry cleaning are both processes designed to clean clothes. Laundering, the more traditional cleaning practice, is a water-based cleaning process that usually utilizes a washer/dryer combination with soap and/or detergent. In contrast, dry cleaning does not utilize water but instead employs a comprehensive process that cleans the clothing much more effectively. While both processes have their purposes, dry cleaning is overall much better for maintaining the structural integrity of clothes, especially the delicate ones. While water is not the main cleansing agent in dry cleaning, the process does involve the use of liquids for stain and soil removal. Much like traditional laundering, dry cleaning employs a specific machine in which the garments are placed for cleaning. After being put in the machine, the machine is started and gently rotates the clothes in the basket while a steady stream of clean solvent is pumped into the system. Simultaneously, the dirty solvent is p...

Land Surveying: Various Aspects of the World's Second Oldest Profession

Image
Land surveying is defined as a method of scientifically and/or legally determining the location of points on the earth’s surface. It also includes establishing the distance between those points and the angles created by them. Often referred to as the world’s second-oldest profession, land surveying integrates elements of engineering, geometry, law, math, and physics. Legally, land surveying determines boundaries. Furthermore, it establishes where property lines begin and where they end. The accuracy of land boundaries depends on a society’s particular regard for the state, county, city, and private property line borders.  (1)   Modern-day land surveyors use Global Positioning Systems (GPS) for accurate point positioning. GPS works through satellites that send signals to receivers kept on surveyors’ tripods. The data is then downloaded into computer software, allowing the surveyor to know the exact position of a point within the time span of a few minutes.  (2) Th...

The Federal Government, the Partial Government Shutdown, and the Ordinary Citizen Would Daily Life Really Change if The Federal Government, As We Know It, Disappeared? By Katherine Fry, CEO/President Mediafy Communications Group Years ago, while a student in college, I learned about the various Antitrust Acts that redefined the power of the Federal Government. I also learned that, originally, the Federal Government had three strictly defined purposes. A united military A united currency The elimination of tariffs between the states However, the rise of commerce led to to the rise of monopolies, arguably (1) It is the compilation of these three Acts that led to the formation of the Federal Government as we know it today. While as a Feminist, I appreciate the rules and regulations that protect women and other minorities in the workplace, as a business owner I feel the burden of taxation that hits my business every other week from the Federal Government. As a citizen,...
