And you conservatives, are always griping about how you don't want government interference in our lives! Then you want to impose the most invasive program against the poor, that's possible! What hippocrites!
You're basically saying that ALL of the welfare and UI benefit recipients out there, use drugs, and thus need to be tested. You have absolutely no proof, to back this up. It's just your own unfair judgement, against people that are less fortunate than you.
And many people who collect benefits, DID save for a rainy day. But I guess it never ocurred to you, that a person can go through their savings trying to keep up with their expenses, if they're out of work for a long time. Which most people are these days, if they've lost their jobs.
You can argue and argue, but there's no way that you can justify automatically imposing drug testing on government benefit recipients, just because they collect government benefits. That's facism at it's worst. And it would move this country further along into the police state, that's it's been drifting towards since the Bush administration was in control. So it's YOUR logic, that's deeply flawed!
They will argue & argue unless or until it is THEM that have more restrictions placed against them.
They say they don't HATE the poor but, just reread through the different threads & you will see the same people posting on all of them. Just in this thread it has been said that those on welfare 'do drugs & spread their legs'.
They can say it's not hate but, the facts & their own statements prove otherwise.
They get it........but ONLY when it suits them. They are hypocrites IMO.
And how do you know that they're spending their money on drugs??? So why pick on them then, if you don't believe that all of them are spending their money on drugs??? And I just tell it like it is, whether you want ot hear it like it is or not. Guess you think that asserting my viewpoint, is an insult.
As for the other person that I called on the carpet, I have been getting personal attacks from them, for quite some time, which you know nothing about. So don't go there.
They are friends of ours
So can you please answer the question. Why should we be paying almost 400.00 a mth in Food stamps alone for a couple that has been together since their teens and dont get married on purpose because they would lose their benefits. But spend more then 100.00 a week on pot. You can avoid this all day long and your lack of answer speaks volumes.
So you can tell it like it is but if someone tells you like it is you accuse them of doing the same thing you do, a bit hypocritical if you ask me. Guess that is me calling it like it is
Why should we give someone food stamps when they have money to spend on drugs?

Please explain why you single out drugs (presumably illegal drugs only) for exclusion. Why not other products that are of little or no health value? Why not exclude soft drinks and fast food?
And if you support telling welfare recipients that they cannot spend on pleasure items, why stop at illegal drugs? Why not prohibit golf, fishing or other non essential stuff?
I'm not sure what that would accomplish since addiction is considered a disability and already entitles them to all sorts of freebies. Yes your savvy local addict is subsidized! Heck, you want a cool taxpayer bought electric scooter? Get so fat you can't walk and the various agencies will equip you with all sorts of gadgets to get you to the grocery store! If you get too fat to get out of bed they'll even deliver your meals prepared and supply you with some hapless individual who'll give you sponge baths.......... I think I just threw up a little.

Is soda illegal? But I dont think they should be able to buy soda either to be honest about it. Didnt La or some where in Ca just limit fast food places? So I dont single out drugs but drugs are illegal. I think people that have money to pay for such things as " drugs" something that is illegal should be able to use that to buy food and we can use what they arent getting to help someone that really needs it
To me food stamps it meant to sustain life. Do you need a soda to do that?
Can you answer my question? Why should we be paying almost 400.00 a mth for someone that spends over 100.00 a week on pot?

artwomyn need I say more? According to this post if your heavy or your legs don't work it's because you wanted to get fat or unhealthy. It couldn't possibly be because you have an illness...no it's because they want sponge baths...LOL
Should Republican Representative Michelle Bachmann be drug tested after receiving $250,000 in Welfare Farm Subsidies? Should all the farmers?
Yes, she should be drug tested and jailed! IMO
Farmers... I don't really see the need. They are after all working.
