Back to You
S.S.A. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I stay away so long
But when my strength is gone
I bring it on back to you
It's only when I learn
I've nowhere else to turn
I bring it on back to you

The fading light and cold of night
That leads me to your door
Has brought me back, a broken man
And you take me in once more

And tho' an angry word
Is all that I deserve
I bring it on back to you
Mmm, I can't imagine why
I ever left your side
I bring it on back to you

When everything I planned
Slips right from my hands
I bring it on back to you, mmm-mmm
And all that I desire
Is more than I can stand
I bring it on back to you

The fading light and cold of night
That leads me to your door
Has brought me back, a broken man
And you take me in once more

The promises I left
This time I won't forget
I bring it on back to you
And starting here and now
I'll make it up somehow




After all I put you through
Oh oh oh, I bring it on back to you

It pisses me off too! But what REALLY chaps my behind is that people who have worked for years and paid in have a tougher time getting disability than somebody that's NEVER paid in.

Former workers always get denied once or twice until you get a lawyer. SSA figures you'll go back to work before you lose everything you've worked for.

THEN if they grant you benefits, it's not even close to what you made or paid in. To add insult to injury, you pay a $180 Medicare premium AND deductibles and co pays.

YET if you've never worked you get $800-900 a month, no Medicare premium AND no co pays or deductibles. You also qualify for food stamps, section 8 housing, etc.

It's way past time to stop rewarding people for sitting on their asses! I'll also never understand how people who aren't even supposed to be here can collect benefits!

SSI was created for those who were born with a condition that will prevent them from ever making a living wage and those that developed a condition young enough (like a paralyzing accident) that they couldn't get in 3 years of working. NEVER intended for a 40 year old that never paid in and now they have back pain or type 2 diabetes. Those people should keep doing what they did between 18-40!!

Thanks! Walter I watch you regularly. This my first contribution for your Business. I'm very HAPPY WITH YOU POD CAST. Please keep up the great work it took me 4 tries to get it but I had a good lawyer and I had built his home on Whitefish Lake, MT. with my father and his partner now deceased RIP Dad. In 1998 WE set prescidence for men with Fibromyalgia here in MT. anyway.
You remind of him. He TOO has passed away RIP
my friend Gene Hedman best lawyer ever. My case settled according to Gene in record time. 49 min. In court room. Gene gave his report, I gave my testimony to the situation. The judge would not let a particular party to speak he seemed very agitated, come to find out he was the person who apparently said I could work. But he never got a word out other than who he was. Some type of coordinator I guess. My attorney had big smile on his face and said that's the speediest SSDI hearing I have ever been engaged in.
I was confused though had to ask him what had happened. He said YOU WON. It didn't hit me until we got half way home.
DAMN HONEY I WON. YAHOO. about 35 times all the way home. I have been on Disability ever since. Not just Fibromyalgia but also second time had severe back injury. 2nd time on Workers Comp. for back first time was building bowling alley in 1986 same town Whitefish Montana.
The Pin and Cue it's still there too, 37 years ago
I was 28 married 3 years, and still with my loving wife 40 years this Aug. 😂😂😘😀😭👍😆😎😷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Thanks Walter.

I know plenty of people in the disability community, and it's already a problem, especially for working Medicaid recipients. In many states, the eligibility criteria for disability Medicaid take directly from SSI's criteria.

The asset limit must increase, soon. More importantly, if there's going to be a limit it must be indexed to inflation. If that $2000 limit had been indexed to inflation, using January 1989 dollars as the base point (when it was set at the nominal $2000 level), it should have been $4,984.91 in March 2023 dollars (the latest CPI data available at the time of my post). But many costs have exceeded the rate of inflation, so this limit needs to be more than $5000 if (hopefully when!) Congress gets around to making this critical amendment.

As the $2000 limit is not indexed to inflation, we can do the inverse operation (seeing how many January 1989 dollars equal $2000 in March 2023 dollars) to see how much real value the limit has lost in the last 34 years. The result is that $2000 in March 2023 dollars have the same buying power as $802.42 in January 1989 dollars. In other words, the dollar is only worth 40% as much as it was when SSI's asset limit was set at the nominal $2000 level! This is completely unacceptable!

Sadly, this lack of inflation-indexing also occurs in other social assistance programs too, especially for asset limits. I've seen decades-old asset limits in some states' TANF programs, legal aid programs, and so forth. For TANF, this lack of inflation-indexing goes far beyond asset limits; even the very funding levels states get from the Federal government are frozen at 1996 levels, without regard for inflation nor population changes!

There are even problems with this in other countries' programs (I've seen similar issues with non-indexed asset limits in Canadian and British social assistance too). I know many politicians despise cash welfare, and what SSI and TANF have in common are that they are both cash welfare programs (the latter only partially so), so they end up getting neglected and allowed to rot under inflation. Aside from its issues with non-indexed asset limits (and income exclusions), SSI fortunately has COLA to increase benefit levels over time, but TANF payment levels have been frozen for decades in many states (some benefit levels were frozen even before TANF replaced AFDC in 1996!); any elements of these cash welfare programs that are not indexed to inflation tend to be neglected for decades. In turn, inflation means that these critical programs can no longer do what they were intended to do; relieve poverty.

Given that many critical services for the disability community are only available through Medicaid (oftentimes home- and community-based services are only available through Medicaid waivers and not private insurance), the economic liberty of disability community, in terms of their ability to save money, work, and start businesses, is seriously infringed by the outdated eligibility criteria attached to Medicaid. ABLE accounts don't do enough to alleviate this, either, as they can only hold currency (and not other assets); on the other hand, special needs trusts essentially mean giving up the ability to manage your assets for those non-currency assets that can't be placed in an ABLE account, nor are excluded resources under SSI/Medicaid rules (eg. business entity ownership interests, gold, etc.; such irrevocable trusts are a plus if you're concerned about creditors, but a financially-responsible person would still have some assets in their name regardless).



@kevintewey1157

More and more of us are just giving up
yes the suicide rate for elderly and disabled is increasing beyond its already high rate.
So,
why aren't we organizing and working together as a group?
I do not believe in supporting any candidates that run in either of the two privately owned parties but there is a lot of other work to do.
If we don't know what it is it's still not an excuse to not learn.
Let not " confusion " be our " epitaph ".
And Fight for the Next Generation.
Don't just lay down and die.

@mattg8787

@altha2008

question? what if a person has a life time estate on a property... They just have the right to use it to live on it, It is not in their name

@maatdei8127

I want to try to get a some job to try to bring in more income because I’m unable to feed myself. I found a job at a hospital cleaning but how does that work?

@altha2008

@Ma'at Dei If you are on SSDI, You can make up to $970 this month, $1050 starting next month,, So llike do I just work 2 days a week, that is enough for You printed out a letter each month with your information where you work at how much you make, If you have a on line account you can do it one line JUST DO NOT GO OVER THE $950
You can do it 9 times over a 5 year period just up to about $1300 but do not do it, Do not use them 9 times because some months you have 3 pay periods and you might forget and work an extra shift and go over he $950,, All they want is you to report your income, DO NOT do their ticekt to work program they will work you test you and say that you are able to do this and that so you can work a little more and take you off SSDI, Again just get a job that is good for you 2 days a week tell your employer what is going on so that he or she will not put you down for extra shifts

@rebeccasingletary4615

@Matthew g Them people trying to set people up, they tell you that what people can have and how much,
Untill you get all that they say you can get, then when you get it next thing they sending a letter saying you got to much we are over paying you.
I don't trust those people

We're not poorly run. We're being taken down by design!

@A-Thomas

You do know he’s talking about welfare don’t you???🤣🤣🤣. SSI is welfare.

@PUNKMYVIDEO

@@A-Thomas SSI is not welfare. You pay for it with every dollar you earn. You must be public school educated.

@A-Thomas

@@PUNKMYVIDEO SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is exactly welfare. It is a state welfare benefit that the federal government took over when the states couldn’t manage it. That is why when an individual receives SSI they immediately become entitled to Medicaid. You don’t pay into SSI the way you do SSA as SSA has a trust fund and SSI comes from the general fund. You can have never worked one day in your life and never been disabled then turn 65 years old and as long as you are within the program threshold’s you can receive SSI the Q
1st of the next month. SSI by government definition is a federal welfare program. So your attempt at insulting me just points out your own ignorance and the fact that you are on the welfare program yourself.
