    Orrin Hatch Calls For Drug Testing Unemployment Benefits-Welfare Recipients

    http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_1...29-503544.html

    For all you that wanted drug testing for welfare recipients I hope you're
    on unemployment.

    I say we include tobacco testing for all right wing unemployment recipients.
    We wouldn't want anyone spending our tax dollars on snus instead of food.

        I don't really see why this is a big deal. If they're taking our tax dollars, I'd just assume they weren't using it on drugs.

          I remember when this bozo wanted to make people's computers blow up if they download illegal files.

          Fine, test poor people for drug use before giving them a pittance. Just make sure Orrin's mouth is the testing receptacle.

              Right. All drug testing is fascism! We are working to have it thrown out of the workplace.
              My body fluids are no body's business.
              No true Libertarian supports any kind of urine testing.

              Performance testing is acceptable.

                Sure but let's not omit those who receive corporate welfare and the politicians that hand it out.

                  Right again.

                  And who will pay for the testing and what government agency will run it?

                  I thought you conservatives wanted less government?

                  Can you say hypocrite?

                  Will there be alcohol testing for the poor? How about fast food
                  and video poker too?

                    Really no one else will say it?



                    Okay. This is dumb because we pay into unemployment. It means you have been employed and is based off your previous salary.


                    Joe, drug testing is not bad. Businesses have a choice how to run their businesses. I would not want to employ a crackhead. Obviousely weed needs to be legal but that's another debate.

                    Drug testing unemployment is stupid. It's like drug testing social security. Who the fark cares, they paid into it. I support drug testing for those on welfare because I wish someday we could break the cycle of multi generation families living off the gov. Both whites and minorities live off the gov and it is sickening.


                    In reality it may benefit society to drug test unemployment people but not until we legalize weed. No one should be arrested or denied employment for smoking pot. Obviousely you can't show up to work high but I just don't feel it should be in the same category as narcotics.





                    Anyways, this is just republicans being dicks again. They protest big gov then introduce big gov. Surprise surprise.

                      Also. Let's drug test the politicians first. If I can't legally snort blow off a hooker than neither can they. I bet they'd all fail.

                        You're right Joe234, welfare recipients should not be drug tested, that's just a waste of the real working man's dollar. Welfare and all state-aid should be abolished completely. But until it is abolished, test the piss out of em' (literally). The money spent on drug testing and eliminating recipient eligibility would be far less than continuing to fill their lazy pockets with our hard earned dollars.

                        As far as drug testing in the workplace being fascism...hardly. The workplace is a private sector, owned by private individuals with no government ties. Drug testing fees are coming from the owner's pockets, not tax dollars. Unless you are employed by the government, everything from a mail carrier to an FBI agent.

                        If you don't like the fact that a business drug tests employees, then don't apply there. Personally, I've never known a drug addict, or alcoholic for that matter, that could maintain acceptable attendance, punctuality, and quality of work. I claim no political affiliation, because they're all full of sh#t, however here is the libertarian stance on poverty and welfare which I do agree with:

                        http://www.lp.org/issues/poverty-and-welfare

                        By the way Joe234, while we're on the topic of piss testing, I don't know who pissed in your post toasties lately, but you seem to have some real unresolved issues . Either that, or I think you just like to stoke the fire, push buttons, and watch others react. Or as they say in these parts...Sh*t-Stirrer
