The lines for disability insurance is growing rapidly. It's becoming increasingly harder for people who have disabilities to get the insurance that they need. These lines are growing larger because people get the insurance even if they don't need it. People fake disabilities if they can't find jobs and because of that people who actually need the insurance can't get it.

The inequality needs to be fixed first, so that the economy can grow overall, as the article states.
