I can't help but feel like the problems with SSD stem from the same source as the arguments against a basic guaranteed income for the poorest class - both require that at some level one accepts that yeah, not everyone affected is going to use the money like a saint or even a respectable citizen who has 2.5 kids and a white picket fence, and not being able to declare that state of affairs acceptable and worth it to bring a decent standard of living to the disadvantaged leads to poo poo like the $2000 limit on money saved at once, reevaluations of disabilities when the disability in question is demonstrably permanent, and other such fuckery. e: beaten by Obdicut's much nicer post (and I seriously agree that GMI would be for sure the way to really fix a lot of poo poo, if it weren't for how tremendously difficult it would be to get that any kind of national traction).
