Oklahoma lawmaker wants welfare drug testing

[USG'60]

Good post, Josh. Thoroughly reasonable.

Drug test everyone that's working for the government I say. There's gotta be a reason we're in such a mess!

They typically already do that.

[Thunder]

They typically already do that.

If they do, I'd like video evidence as proof.

[Larry OKC]

They typically already do that.

That probably just applies to the "hired help". Would be shocked if it also applied to elected officials. they often exempt themselves from the rules they impose on the masses.

I say Hallelujah!

Drug testing for welfare is a very, very good start. The less we give
to the non producers the better.

WTH is a tax consumer ?

I'm shocked a conservative would ask that as much as they abhor welfare. People being on welfare are an example of tax consumers.

People on Social Security are non producers, should we give them less too?

Not true. The majority of people on socialistic insecurity were/are
forced to pay into that Ponzi scheme. They have a contract that
says they're supposed to have it eked out to them at specific time
with an embarrassing low rate of return.

... should we give them less too?

Only if they didn't pay into the Ponzi scheme.

I'm always a little sceptical when people claim to know what Jesus would do and what he wouldn't do. The whole WWJD always makes me wonder if being the son of god who can walk on water and raise the dead might have a few more options and a different perspective than most of us. =)

My guess is that Jesus, if alive on earth today, would be a socialist. :-)

Maybe. He didn't work for a living and wandered around letting other people pay his bills.

Florida and Kentucky to require testing.... http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/...20068077.shtml

Hooray for Florida and Kentucky! Maybe there's a chance that
common sense will spread to the other states. That'd put a powerful
dent in the already unnecessary payouts.

What could be done with all that money?
