Maybe it's part of the anti-obesity plan.

Works for me.

yep maybe it will force St. Obama to start focusing on getting people back to work.
But of course you will hear the likes of Nancy Pelosi and her ilk saying people will be dieing in the streets if this happens.

Its in the article bout half way down. I read the whole thing. Also requires food stamp recipients to take drug tests...its the governments fault people have to use food stamps in the first place,get the hell out of the way and let the economy recover instead of forcing more regulations on it and people who work would not need food stamps to survive.

The testing will cost as much as the stamps. Where do we find the money for all this?

No idea. They tried this in Florida and it was cut down but somehow the House approves it..odd. Guess they are just going to print more money with their money machines...they don't seem to care or realize they are sinking the country.

To really get our monies worth we should centralize resources. We could put these folks in camps. Then put them to work in the fields. Then tell them what to do all the time. Then...oh wait. We did all of that already.

Whenever one sees 'House Votes..' it seems to be some black-hearted evil legislation. I assume the Senate or President Obama will drive a stake through it
