On November 5, 2016, the First Annual "KNOW YOUR AIRPORT DAY" was nothing more than a political effort to try to convince voters not to vote for the guys who want to return $6.8 Million Dollars to the community. The Airport Board chose November 5th a saturday, 3 days before the general election where citizens would vote for candidates for the Airport Board. California GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 54964-54964.6 indicates that government entities are strictly prohibited from using public resources for political advocacy.
A feature attraction at Airport Day was a half a million dollar "snowblower" . Before $500K was wasted on the purchase of this huge snowblower which by way the National Weather service statistics showed is needed by our airport once every 6 to 7 years, the Lake Tahoe airport offered the Big Bear Airport their machine FREE. Estimates to bring the machine to like new status were $50K to $75K. A local commercial heavy equipment expert testified to the Airport board of directors that it was not necessary to buy a new machine for $500K citing that he had lines of "hundreds" of the same model machines with less than 10 hours use for "pennies on the dollar". So the airport is saddled with a $500k anchor that in four years has had less than 20 hours use, and the majority of that is "training time". Incidentally the National Weather service records indicate we've not had a storm and snow accumulation great (deep) enough to use such a machine. So we have an approx. $60K annual depreciation on a machine that is nothing more than a toy and financial burden.
The airport board are so desperate to hide their wrongdoing, it's been reported by witnesses that attended the Saturday event that two young ladies were assaulted by board member Joe Kelly because he didn't want them at the airport (a public facility) handing out flyers for their candidates, again it's been reported (I have not confirmed what actually happened) that Kelly hit one of the girls knocking a telephone out of her hand. 'If true' that's assault and battery by an airport board member. I do know the ladies are filing a police report and are contacting an attorney.
Regarding the unneeded $6.8 Million dollars reserve the airport board are desperately trying to shield by making it appear the money is needed for airport "PROJECTS". One boon dog they are trying to sell the uneducated is a claim they need a 100K gallon fuel dump for Jet A. First, they have never run out of Jet A since I started flying into Big Bear in 1977 when I moved to California almost 39 years ago. I've been a commercial pilot for almost 50 years, I flew professionally as a young man, I managed a rather large Fixed Base Operators (FBO) at Hanscom Field, Bedford MA. (http://www.hanscom.af.mil ) Where I learned facts of airport business dealings and air operations. The airport board claims its fuel dump is critically important to safety/fire air operations. A flat out lie, all one has to do is call CAL Fire Air Operations to learn that they take their own fuel with them because they get it at close to cost, so they don't buy fuel here when they are here, except for possibly a few hundred gallons fill up until their tanker arrives. So the airport building a 100K fuel dump for "SAFETY" is b.s.
Over all not many people know that almost all U.S. airport projects are 90% funded by the Federal Aviation Administration, (FAA) in a program called AIP Funding (Airport Improvement Projects). Plus the State of California aeronautics Div. kicks in another 5%. So let's say for example the airport wants to build a 100K gallon fuel dump and it's going to cost $1 Million dollars....the FAA pays $900K the State of California pays $50K and the Big Bear Airport has to come up with only $50K for a $1 Million dollar project. But it gets even better, the FAA in addition to supplying AIP funding, also allows for what they call a project management fee to be charged to the FAA by the airport receiving the AIP funds, so in fact in many cases the 'allowed management fee' is greater than the participating airports share of the project costs, so an airport can actually come out of a project with more money than they had on hand before they began the project. If the money is needed for these so called necessary projects, then why has the Airport Board been hoarding taxpayer dollars for over 10 years while the pot continued to grow at the rate of from $500K to almost $1 million annually? Per audited financial reports. They claim they are saving the money for big projects. The largest Airport Projects costs are for repaving the runways and taxiways. They have been paved twice in the last ten years with the likelihood all costs were paid as stated above by the FAA and the state.
Airport management cronies have been lying to the community for years and until now we have allowed them to get away with it.

A team of visiting dragon boat racers parade down the riverfront on Tuesday ahead of the day's first events.
ANTI-DOMESTIC violence groups have taken their message to the streets this Water Festival, with hundreds of motodops and cyclos touring bustling Phnom Penh with T-shirts and hats promoting "happy families".
Local NGO group Project Against Domestic Violence (PADV) as well as Plan International have clad more than 500 drivers with their campaign's message, "happy family is our wish", with the aim of taking advantage of the millions of people who are expected to converge on the capital for this week's festivities.
"I hope the millions of people who visit the water festival this year will see this message and will understand and stop domestic violence altogether," said PADV coordinator Chan Sareth.
She said that due to poverty and misunderstanding in rural Cambodia, more than 40 percent of women and children have suffered from domestic violence.
Vong Socheata, a 45-year-old villager from Kandal province who had traveled to Phnom Penh for the festival, said that as a victim of domestic violence herself, the campaign gave her hope.
"When my husband gets drunk, he always fights my children and me," Vong Socheata said.
"So I hope people see the message."

Nearly all of the controversy regarding the Smaug's name centers around the au. Normally when English readers (especially Americans for some reason) come across this vowel combination we pronounce it as it sounds in words like daughter or launched. Thus, we often say Smaug like smog. In Appendix E of The Lord of the Rings (and in most of Tolkien's Middle-earth books) a guide is provided that explains how to pronounce the non-English words. There Tolkien provides a different pronunciation of au for his languages.* According to him, au should be pronounced "ow" as in loud or how. So, the word Smaug should be pronounced Sm-ow-g, not Sm-o-g. If it helps, think of adding a "w" (Smauwg) or think of the au in Smaug as sounding like the au in Sauron.
*Well, for Elvish anyway. Speaking of which, why should we follow elvish pronunciation? Is the word "Smaug" elvish? If not, why should we follow the elvish pronunciation? It's a good question, one that doesn't have a conclusive answer (or at least one that I know of). However, we do know that elvish greatly influenced the languages of Men and the Common Speech or Westron (see Appendix F - Of Men). When exceptions regarding pronunciation or spelling occurred Tolkien often made note of it in the Appendices. Also, some of the best Tolkien language experts have worked or are working on The Hobbit films and they direct the pronunciation of all non-English words that make it into the film. They have made a point of making sure the actors pronounce Smaug this way (with au sounding like the ow in how). (So why Peter Jackson says Shmaug is beyond me...)
|Conversation With Smaug by J.R.R. Tolkien
When people incorrectly say Smog instead of Smaug they often at some point also envision smog (fog or haze), a bit of a play on words that is fun to think about. (I can think of the smoke from Smaug's fire as appearing like a thick smog.) However, Tolkien was telling a different joke, one that you probably didn't get unless you were skilled in Old Germanic languages or read part of a letter Tolkien wrote to the editor of the Observer in the early part of 1938.
The dragon bears a name - a pseudonym - the past tense of the primitive Germanic verb Smugan, to squeeze through a hole: a low philological jest. (Letters No. 25)

Discussion Board for collaboration on Qlik NPrinting.
I am trying to create a Bar Chart in Microsoft Word through NPrinting.
It is a single dimension and single measure bar chart.
In Word I went to Insert > Chart > Bar > and selected Clustered Bar.
Then I modified the Excel sheet it builds the chart on like this:
I closed the Excel sheet.
And Previewed the report but I get this error message:
Anyone know how to resolve this?
Is it possible to create a Bar chart like this in Word?
I know I can create the chart in Qlik Sense and use the Image option but would like to do it this way as users prefer this.
Hi John,
I do not think you will be able to achieve what you are trying to do in Word. In my opinion it is not supported.
This option was only available in PowerPoint in NPrinting 16 and i never heard of Word supporting it.

Hello, there. We at CLG Wikia are glad you've joined! Now what's the most important thing you do to improve the site? Why, writing articles! This tutorial will show you how to write a suitable entry for the site, and how to improve your page. For a demo of a example closing logo description, click on this link.
The Template: All pages have a basic form that everyone follows. They are:
Background (optional)
This shows the history of the company whose logos you're describing. They can include when the company started, their business practices, who runs it, or business acquisitions they've made. You do not have to include this on your page, but it IS very informative.
Year: The date of release and retirement of the logo. For example:
??? Logo/ID/Open (????–????)
(note: set the above header in Headings 2, and if there's more than one logo in a page, set it to Headings 3)
Nickname(s) (optional): Just something people call the logo by. Nicknames are made from how cheesy the logo is to some, how scary it seems to others, or a certain theme shown in the logo. These are on many idents, but do not necessarily have to be on a description.
Logo/ID/Open: The heart of it all. This is used to describe what happens in the logo. Be very descriptive on this part - use colorful adjectives as much as possible, and try to describe every little detail. Start by saying what color the background is, and then whatever animations are in the logo. For still logos, just name the background color and whatever is on the still image.
Take your time on these, and make sure you revise, because if you leave an important detail out, you can confuse people easily.
Trivia (optional): If there is some trivia about the logo, put them in this section. This is optional, so can do it if you want to.
Variation(s) (optional): If there are different variants of a logo, post them here.
Effects: This is a short section. Say what is moving in the logo, and what kind of effects or special effects are being used (and don't just be lazy and put "Everything" or "All the animation in the logo"). If it's still, simply say "None". Also try to state what looks professional in the logo.
Cheesy Factor (optional, may be paired with "Effects" section): This section is used to describe what kind of outdated effects, what doesn't make sense, and how much effort is put into the ident. Humor is key in this section - sly remarks about what is cheesy in the logo always get a laugh out of the reader. Remember, though, not all logos are cheesy.
Music/Sounds: Say what kind of sounds are being used, or what genre the music is in the logo.
Music/Sounds Variant(s): If there are one or more variants of the logo theme or sound, post them here.
Availability: This section is important - gather all of the information about where this logo can be found. State whether it is rare or not, tell where it can be found, and where it was last seen. Don't forget to italicize titles from where the logo can be found.
Scale of Availability Use this nomenclature for your future logo descriptions:
- Ultra common/Very common: When you find this logo everywhere (also if this logo plasters everything).
- Common: You find that logo on newly produced shows/movies of that company, or is left intact on reruns/DVDs.
- Uncommon: You may find that logo on some prints of produced films/shows of that company.
- Rare: It appeared few times on some releases/prints.
- Scarce: You may find it on several prints/releases.
- Extremely rare: Appeared on some old releases/prints that hasn't been widely distributed.
- Ultra rare: Difficult to find or appears on a very special release or print.
- Extinct: Has been replaced by other logos, but can be found on very old releases/prints.
- Unknown: If you don't know on which films/shows the logo has appeared.
- Brand new: For newer logos.
- TBA: To be announced.
Do not put vague or incoherent descriptions like "common but rare "or "current but common". Phrases like these can confuse readers.
Scare Factor: This determines if the logo frightens you or not. The music, animations, and cheesiness are huge factors playing into the scare factor. If a logo scares you, but no one else, try to average out the factor. Putting "Nightmare" on something that only scares you will get the readers annoyed, but if you put "Low to medium", readers can better relate to you. The scale for the scare factor is:
- None (to) (0, 0.5)
- Minimal/Minimum (to) (1, 1.5)
- Low (to) (2, 2.5)
- Medium/Median (to) (3, 3.5)
- High (to) (4, 4.5)
- Nightmare (5!)
Notes: When having two or more logo descriptions, make sure you hit "Enter" four times in between each one so each description will have enough breathing room. Plus, if there is only one logo image with the video, place the video on the side of the image rather than placing it underneath. Only do that when there are two or more images. For tips on how to revise your logo description, check out this page. And to find out about credits, take a look at the Guide to Using Credits.
That's about it. Have fun!

What is the Cost-Benefit of Extended Producer Responsibility on Waste Packaging?
By Tips For Recycling | Published: March 19, 2013
One of the biggest obstacles we face in reducing trash in the U.S. is waste packaging. The concept behind extended producer responsibility, or EPR, is that if manufacturers are made responsible for the end-lives of their commodities they will design those products more responsibly and with less waste. EPR is popular in other countries. Notably, […]

Republican governors: A winning machine
A relentless combination of big fundraising and recruiting just the right candidates transformed the Republican Governors Association into a political force.
When the Republican Governors Association gathered in Miami for its annual conference after the 2008 election, nearly the entire roster of GOP chief executives managed to crowd onto a small stage behind Rick Perry, then the governor of Texas and the group's chairman, for a press conference.
If the GOP governors want to try the same trick at their 2015 conference in Las Vegas this week, they'll need a bigger stage.
Story Continued Below
The group's sheer size highlights how it became one of the most successful organizations in politics in the past seven years. While Democrats have reshaped the federal government under President Barack Obama, Republicans have methodically taken over state after state around the country, swelling the number of GOP governors from 19 to 31 and enacting conservative priorities from budget cuts to new restrictions on unions and abortion to blocking the implementation of Obamacare.
Behind each of those policy and political victories was the RGA, planning, funding, and executing the GOP's state-based resurgence.
The unlimited-money organization helped GOP governors win and then keep their jobs in swing states Obama carried twice, including Ohio, Michigan, Florida and Wisconsin. It invaded solidly blue territory, committing millions of dollars to backing successful Republicans in Illinois, Maine, Maryland and Massachusetts. It built the backbone of the GOP's national bench: Three Obama-era governors — New Jersey's Chris Christie, Wisconsin's Scott Walker and Ohio's John Kasich — launched bids for president this year.
The RGA conference comes on the heels of another major victory for the group — electing a flawed candidate, Matt Bevin, to Kentucky's governorship with a last-minute burst of spending — but just ahead of a difficult test. While Republicans have been on the march throughout the South, they may see the governor's mansion in Louisiana slip from their grasp if Democrat John Bel Edwards' polling lead holds and he defeats scandal-tarred GOP Sen. David Vitter in a Nov. 21 runoff.
Phil Musser, a former executive director of the RGA who consulted on the Kentucky race, said the RGA's recent successes are a result of combination of "financial fortitude and political discipline." The Kentucky win is "part of what's been a sustained effort at the RGA over the past several election cycles to gather superior resources and deploy them in really smart independent efforts," Musser said. "And they've reshaped the political landscape of the country."
Incredibly, Republicans go into 2016 with a good chance of further expanding their ranks of chief executives. Democratic-controlled states like West Virginia, Missouri, and Montana will be major pick-up opportunities for the GOP next year, though the party also has to defend two unpopular incumbents in Indiana and North Carolina, Govs. Mike Pence and Pat McCrory.
Republicans owe part of their gubernatorial success this decade to the political environment, when perfectly timed backlashes against Obama aligned with the last two midterm elections. But the RGA also took full advantage of those opportunities by creating an outside-money juggernaut that Democrats couldn't match.
"Republicans were feeling pretty boxed out of the power structure, and they realized the way they could climb back was through investing in the states, and they've done a remarkably good job of that," Democratic Governors Association Executive Director Elisabeth Pearson said in a June interview. She added: "No matter what issue you care about, the agenda that is being driven at the state level is a Republican agenda. And that's what we want to change."
Republicans have also made major gains in the House and Senate over the past five years. But the battle to take back the Senate proved a slog, with unfocused and alienating candidates like Todd Akin and Christine O'Donnell helping delay the GOP's takeover of the chamber. The historic Republican majority in the House, meanwhile, has proved ungovernable up to this point. Meanwhile, not only did Republican governors win a raft of states in 2010, it kept nearly all of them in 2014.
The RGA has avoided congressional Republicans' problems, especially in hard-to-win blue states, by playing a relentless but "quiet" role in recruiting candidates that fit their states, Musser said.
Moderate Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker started going to RGA conferences years before he first ran for the office in 2010. After losing to then-Democratic Gov. Deval Patrick in a three-way race, Baker was reluctant to try again four years later.
The RGA responded by organizing a barrage of phone calls from GOP governors and major donors to convince Baker another run would be worth it.
"He needed folks to come to him and say: 'We'll have your back,'" said Phil Cox, who served as the RGA's executive director when Baker won in 2014. "And we were all over him."
Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner was a RGA donor for years before a similar recruiting pitch helped convince him to run for office himself in 2013. Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey started attending RGA conferences four years before he ran and won last year.
Then there's the money. While the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee often outraise their Republican counterparts, the RGA swamps the Democratic Governors Association in fundraising, sometimes by a two-to-one margin. That's partly thanks to a major effort to harness wealthy contributors.
Between Obama's election and the 2014 midterms, the RGA raised nearly $363 million to the DGA's $204 million. Multiple Republicans attributed the fundraising advantage to the creation of the group's "executive roundtable."
While a large company might feel obliged to give equally (and often do) to Democratic and Republican governors, a corporation's conservative CEO might not feel the same way. Offering enticements like "salons" with the likes of former Federal Reserve Chair Alan Greenspan and former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, the RGA won the engagement and loyalty of corporate executives and conservative philanthropists who hadn't previously been involved with the group. The roundtable, which requires a minimum $25,000 yearly donation, started at 15 members but has since expanded to more than 450.
"Many of them give many multiples of that" minimum donation, said Fred Malek, the RGA's finance chair. The result: a more than two-to-one financial advantage over the DGA in 2010 and 2012, and a 50 percent edge in 2014. "Just look at the numbers," Malek said. "The advantage the RGA has over the DGA is individual donations."
The group also benefits from unity among donors, something outside groups often struggle with. Virtually all of the GOP outside spending in governor's races comes from the RGA. While multiple super PACs compete to back House and Senate Republicans, the RGA is the only game in town when it comes to electing Republican governors.
"The donor class understands: Why would I set up my own super PAC when I could give money to the RGA?" Cox said.
Barbour, the former Mississippi governor and RGA chairman, said Republican success at the gubernatorial level was breeding more success and helping the GOP capture two-thirds of the nation's state legislative chambers.
"Republicans have done very well in state races for six years," he said, noting a majority of Americans were unhappy with the direction of the country but many more were happy with the direction of their state. "And I think it's because citizens in GOP states see results from Republican state governments."
The DGA has worked to put the Democratic coalition's disparate parts, from environmental groups to labor unions, on the same page by sharing polling, messaging, and consultants in its races. In this year's Kentucky gubernatorial race, the DGA, major unions and wealthy liberal donors all poured money into a single super PAC, Kentucky Family Values.
"The best way to win back the House is to elect a Democratic governors," Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe said. "Governors are the last backstop to have fair and balanced lines."
Democrats argue most of the RGA's success came in 2010 and 2014, two midterm election years with whiter and older electorates when most states happen to hold their gubernatorial elections. From 2011 to 2013, the DGA saw more successes: Democrats held Kentucky in 2011, earned victories in Missouri and West Virginia in 2012 and won Virginia in 2013. In the latter race, Republican Ken Cucinnelli's campaign heavily criticized the RGA for pulling out weeks before the election. Polls showed McAuliffe winning easily, but he eventually only eked out a three-point victory.
And while it's still not the size of the RGA, the DGA has seen "exponential" growth in recent years, Pearson noted. The group has added research and digital teams and had an in-house data firm for the first time in the last election.
"The numbers haven't changed much over the past four years," Pearson said. "But I think over the next four years, we have the capacity, if we do our job right and we build this organization right, to make a lot of gains and to win in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania and Nevada and Maine and New Mexico."
But as the University of Minnesota's Smart Politics blog recently noted in an analysis, Democrats are turning in their worst set of performances in gubernatorial races in 100 years.
Democrats readily admit they have a long way to go before matching the GOP's state-based efforts. Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe conceded in a recent interview the GOP was "way ahead of us" in realizing the importance of state-level races. McAuliffe and EMILY's List President Stephanie Schriock are leading an effort to raise money for the DGA by linking Democratic gubernatorial wins to the revitalization of the party as a whole.

Brexit. May's Way Is Not The Only Way
If there is anything that we have learned from the development of the British economy since the Brexit referendum is that doomsayers were wrong.
Since the Brexit vote, the UK has created 450 thousand jobs.
Unemployment stands at a 4% rate, the lowest since 1975. Labor Participation Rate is at 75%. This compares to an EU unemployment of 8.7% and 58% labor participation rate in the 28 member states.
Productivity is growing at the fastest rate in 6 years, while UK factory orders at 4-year high.
At the same time, wage growth has accelerated to two-year highs.
Inflation is above expectations, but that has nothing to do with Brexit and all to do with the Bank of England's extremely loose monetary policy.
Additionally, GDP growth is expected to range between at 1.5% and 1.9% for 2018 and 2019, very far away from the expectations of plunging straight into recession just from a Brexit vote.

inside a turbulent mind
I've been a baha'i for a few years now. I'm not going to get super detailed about my past because I'm in the closet and alot of people know my story very well. First thanks for creating this outlet its my first public truth telling and maybe my only one. I'm celebrated as a model Baha'i. When I declared I had more than my share of negative attributes. And through my faith and practice with Baha'u'llah guiding and strengthening me I have overcome almost all of them along with improving myself and growing in virtues at a very noticeable rate. The one thing that I have not been able to overcome is the homosexuality. (Its all mental - I havn't acted anything out and have had a couple very successful straight Baha'i relationships that ended well but most likely ended because of my inability to be completely honest and commited) And lately it has encomposed me from every angle with hardships. I feel like my beautiful life that I loved and worked so hard to build is starting to fall apart. I'm at a fork in the road that seems like all impossible paths. one embrace the homosexual lifestyle giving up the great life I've built... family, community, career, steadfastness on a gamble that I might find a more true acceptance, love, and relief. two Keep the lie and hope that I can maintain my life or better yet conquer this last spiritual mountain that is so obviously in my path. (conquering by not giving in to lust and maybe even having a sucessful honest straight marraige where my spouse knows and accepts that I'm homosexual/ bisexual) To be clear I am attracted to both sexes just alot more to the same sex and lately almost exclusively attracted to the same sex, which gives me the discouraging feeling that it's getting worse! I've conquered alot of seemingly impossible tests so far, addictions and worse. I feel at the same time spiritually stronger and spiritually more helpless than I ever have. Homosexuality is my dispare, I pray everyday and sometimes I am full of hope and sometimes I would rather die than face the future because I know this is something I have to deal with one way or another and even the best case scenerio (finding someone to have a straight relationship with that loves and accepts me for who I really am even though I might take more effort to be arroused toward them and us both being able to handle the stigma of that kind of relationship. And to be honest to everyone about it.) even that best scenerio seems impossible and will require me to "come out" which honestly terrifies me! I never expected life to be easy, because I don't remember it ever being easy. This is one thing I beg with all humbleness to God, Show me what to do...
I obviosly don't have any answers but I do believe the Baha'i faiths teachings are to accept and sympothise with homosexuals. And I believe the community will eventually live by these teachings. My hope is that this will happen soon for the sake of our spiritual growth both as individuals and as a community. I feel that if the community was more accepting and supportive I could more easily get past this test and focus on more important things, but here is one of the challanges of the time we live in. My prayers go out to everyone that struggles with these hardships. I know from personal experience that homosexuallity is the hardest test I've had to deal with and I've been through alot of hard tests. Thanks again for providing this outlet for people it is very needed and appreciated

This rose looks nothing like he did last year!
Wildeve is supposed to have pretty big flowers, not the little waterlilies he came with last May. Not that those didn't have their own charms. We have this boy planted next to Princess Alexandra of Kent(which is doing a lot better this year), and the blooms are about the same size. They're both beautiful, heat-tolerant roses. I think they were made for each other!

This afternoon I did my first Asheville session with this adorable baby girl! She's only 5 days old….so amazing! Thank you Melissa for letting me do photos for you!
Playing Footsie/Asheville Baby Photographer
I've been wanting to do this photo since River was born and for some reason we just haven't gotten around to it until today. It's so hard to believe that those little, sweet, precious feet are going to be the feet of a grown man some day! I'll kiss them now all that I can! Happy 2 months sweet little man!
Summer is Upon Us!/Asheville Child Photographer
Looks like summer is just around the corner and we can't wait! It was a loooong, cold winter, partly spent in NY and some spent up on this treacherous mountain that we live on. 😉 Some days were spent stuck inside because I just couldn't bring myself to risk getting down the driveway after not having driven in 8 months! (We didn't have cars in the city so driving made me feel like I was 16 all over again!) So bring on the sun, the long days, the evenings spent having drinks by the pool, and the bikinis! Okay maybe not the bikini this year since this momma just had a baby. haha!

The good folks at The Associated Press crunched the numbers to find that those hit with a disability and looking for help aren't getting it in any way like they should. The AP's findings reveal an unconscionable problem that needs to be addressed, and in short order.
More than 1 million people are waiting to see whether they qualify for cash assistance from the Social Security Administration. Many of them are hard-working Americans brought down by injury or illness. Suddenly without a job, facing medical pressures and stacks of bills, the average wait for Social Security to rule on whether they qualify has grown to nearly two years.
As AP journalist Stephen Ohlemacher notes in his report, the wait is longer than some of them will even live. As of last year, 7,400 people already dead remained on wait lists.
Consider the case of Chris Shuler. Working as an airplane mechanic, he developed severe respiratory problems after an exposure to chemicals. Shuler's wife, Elizabeth, described a nightmare scenario in which the medication he took hurt his bones. Not even 40, Shuler needed two hip replacements. But when he applied for assistance in 2012, he was rejected. He died from infection in July 2015 while his request remained on appeal. (Four months later a judge sided with the family.)
Presently, about 10.5 million people get disability payments. The money comes from taxes pulled from worker paychecks as part of the larger Social Security retirement system. Another 8 million get payments from the Supplemental Security Income program that gets its support from the broader federal budget. Combined, the payments amounted to $197 billion last year.
That's a lot of money, and it means that the administration must perform due diligence in assessing claims of disability. Earlier this year The Washington Post reported that between 1996 and 2015 the number of adults receiving payments rose from 7.7 million to 13 million. Especially in impoverished rural areas, The Post found families two and three generations deep that live on disability payments. An average of 9.1 percent of working-age people are on disability in rural areas — a rate much higher than their urban counterparts and 40 percent higher than the national average.
Despite the meager assistance provided — an average of $1,037 a month — there is clearly abuse of the well-intentioned system, and Social Security is right to seek to ferret it out.
A result is that two-thirds of those applying for disability are rejected outright. Appeals to that rejection require seeing an administrative law judge, and that takes an average of 602 days. Five years ago, waits were less than a year. About 1.1 million people are waiting for such a hearing. That's a 31 percent increase from 2012, though down slightly from last year.
Budget cuts over the years have reduced the staff needed to do the work. Now Social Security is asking for 500 new administrative law judges and more than 600 support staff.
President Donald Trump inherited this situation, and no doubt the dynamic helped fuel his supporters' anxieties that the federal government no longer cares about them. We humbly suggest this is a perfect, though complex problem for his administration to address.
