The Christmas and Holiday Season is a time of year for family, friends, good cheer and celebration for many people in America. For People with Disabilities, it is just as much a holiday-filled time of year as it is for everyone else, although the year 2012 finds us with much to reflect upon where our financial standing, rights, and more are concerned. While able-bodied persons in America complain and moan about a lack of jobs, politics, and the continuing financial crisis in America, People with Disabilities struggle to face things such as cutbacks to Social Security, the failure of our nation to ratify the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, a minimal increase in the Cost of Living Allowance, and express concerns about America as a model of disability rights for the entire world.
