Why drug testing of welfare recipients is a bad idea

Hey, I have a better idea. Instead of attacking each other... let's go after the people that took all of our money in the first place? Banks, insurance companies, corporate grants... you can sit here and pick on the little guy all you want, but these are the problems, not people with dependencies that they need to work out, they take a much, much, much more fractional portion of tax dollars in comparison; the fact that people are even arguing about this kind of blows me away.

Still wondering where that $2.3 TRILLION went that the Pentagon LOST the day before 9/11.

I shouldn't even post here because I'm so late. But here is my two:

This is a nightmare on so many levels it is nauseating. As long as you have a job or an income, you have the freedoms our country stands for. You lose your job and your income, and you are no longer entitled to freedom, or privacy. What are you guys thinking?

This should be one of our worst nightmares.

1. Target the poor, as usual.
2. Next? And if they target this group, the next one will be much easier.

First they came for the sick, the so-called incurables And I did not speak out – because I was not ill. Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out – because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the communists And I did not speak out – because I was not a communist. Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out – because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for me. And there was no one left To speak out for me. Pastor Niemoeller 1946

I say start at the top. ALL Government employees should be tested,randomly,for drugs. Maybe the Government work sector would open up,with all the positive tests................

US government staff 'had sex and drugs with energy firm employees

OxyContin bust nets 56 Miami-Dade government employees

SEC Employees Caught with Pants Down in Porn and Drugs Scandal
