One of the only segments that CNBC has that I actually enjoy is the Santelli Exchange.

Today’s segment focused on Disability Entitlements and how countless millions are finding refuge in this program, and never leaving it either.

Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of people who cannot provide for themselves and need a program like Disability to get them through. But far too many Americans are running out of employment benefits after years of coverage, and instead of going and getting a job (and yes jobs are everywhere), they’d rather just move on to the next government program that will allow them to avoid taking responsibility for themselves. 

Best part is, that these people aren’t even accounted for in the monthly employment numbers, so by leaving the work force, politicians can pound their fist on the table and declare the greatness of the economy and how people are finding work, and that the employment figure is going down. 

I’ll leave the rest of to Santelli to explain…
