Here's my grand idea and as soon as I'm made President, I'll put it into action!

1) All welfare applicants/recipients will be drug tested.

2) Females will be required to have the depo provera shot every 3 months. Not more spittin' out babies left and right. If they don't take it, they don't get their welfare check.

Around 99% of women CAN take this. I'll come up with an idea for the other 1% that cannot lol.

3) Communal housing. No more of this Section 8 and getting to pick where you live. You will be provided with basic shelter in a YMCA-type of housing building. Shared bathroom/kitchen. Room for yourself and the kiddos. Enough to sleep, eat, shower and get back off to work.

4) Vouchers for ONLY fresh produce/deli/fruits/whole grain breads/meats/etc. (How many people have you seen pay for groceries with their EBT card and they have a cart full of candy or cheetos/coke? Me? TOO MANY TO COUNT--they are unhealthy and many of their kids are unhealthy as well. Can we say juvenile diabetes and/or a BIGGER stress to the medicaid system down the road?)

5) A total of a 24 month lifetime limit. If the communal housing and food vouchers doesn't weed out the desire to stay on welfare forever, let's put some kind of time limit on it.

6) You must be a legal citizen of the country. Let's let the rest of the world know that we're not responsible for their anchor babies and watch how fast they stop coming here and abusing the system. Can I go to Africa and have a baby and mooch of the system? Have you seen that happen before?

WOULD YOU VOTE FOR ME?

good luck with that, although it looks good on paper it will never work like you intend.

Another pro-rights, pro-privacy, anti-social engineering conservative hear from.

They recently had a poll on Facebook asking a simple Q:

How do you feel about drug testing welfare recipients?

Over 75% were FOR IT.

Whose votes are really important here? Welfare recipients of the LARGE majority of taxpayers who are sick of the nonsense.

Why do politicians try to cater to illegal immigrants and/or welfare recipients?

Sounds like a great idea. If you are disabled or have a medical condition where you can't work you get at least 24 months to say goodbye to your family and friends before staving to death or dying from exposure.

Are you over the age of 35, and a native-born American citizen?

Get your name on the ballot. You have more of a plan than Obama ever has, and more than the R candidates as well, from what I've seen.
