back

I couldn't keep my mouth shut forever.

Lawmakers in at least eight states want recipients of food stamps, unemployment benefits or welfare to submit to random drug testing.

I'm all for it. In my opinion, if you're on welfare, you shouldn't spend money on recreational drugs- including alcohol and tobacco. I've heard stories of people buying $80 worth of food with food stamps, and then $80 worth of alcohol, tobacco, and other junk. It angers me!
These programs are for people who are in genuine desperation, and by no means should they be eliminated. But it's not a free ride. If my tax dollars are going to help you out, you're not going to turn around, and get wasted. You're going to use your free time to work, or better your situation.

That's all for now. Expect more in the future!
