“But did anyone ever notice those with real power, control, those in charge of safety and control over the lives of others are never randomly drug tested?
We’re talking almost everyone in government at all levels. Including unionized cops, firemen, Congress, teachers, the POTUS, judges, prosecutors, IRS, senators, and the drug testers themselves are not randomly tested...and on and on..”
Police are drug tested randomly in WI quite often. Aren’t althletes drug tested? Drug testing isn’t anything new. Some people WITH jobs have to go through it why shouldn’t you if you are applying for free stuff that the taxpayer pays for?
I’ve long thought this. Joe Biden’s daughter was caught in a huge drug bust in 2008, his son was recently fired after ‘failing up’ many times. He always seems on something to me. And if Ct. Rep. Rosa de Lauro is not ever high, why does she dress like that everyday?
the left has already started jumping Walker for being for a taxpayer supported sports arena.
anyone care to defend that?
just asking before the LSM does.
“Smith, who has a three-year-old daughter and another baby due soon-——”

Not one ounce of sympathy from me——not one.

It keeps getting slapped down becuase no matter how good the idea sounds...it’s a violation of the 4th.
How come I had to be drug tested before starting my job at a Fortune 500 company, yet these lazy leeches are not drug tested? I’m the one who continues to support these leeches, so that they can drive their fancy SUVs to the store to use their food stamps.
A lot of welfare “reform” is little more than harassment, such as making recipients take a two hour bus ride to the other side of a metro area, for “counseling” that consists of nothing but a sign in sheet, three times a week. That is, it is a patronage job for the “counselor” who doesn’t show up.
This being said, *real* reform is oriented to supporting those who have no capacity to earn a living or otherwise fend for themselves; workfare for those who can work, where they get a much better deal by working than not; and finally, one thing that gets neglected, welfare *avoidance* programs, that try to divert people from ever getting in the system in the first place. These are mostly the recently unemployed, who still have some resources they can use to get work.
All but the first part is oriented to getting people out of the system, instead of paying a bunch of counselors a fortune to accomplish little or nothing.
The left does not “howl”
They “HEE HAWW” like jackasses..
This is an EASY fix.
Make it illegal to hire a DRUGIE,
except, the employer can give an exemption,
if he/she wants to.
OK?
They work with no rights to hold their job!
Yeah, it can’t be *that* hard to figure out the paperwork, or there wouldn’t be 50 million on food stamps, plus whatever other welfare. I’m sure some get help and someone to fill out the forms, but...
Most are not. I'd like to see a link to that BTW.
Drug testing isn’t anything new.
The fact is, the overall majority of those at all levels of government are not randomly tested, like those on the lower food chains are.
I like walker a lot but if a welfare recipient fails a drug test, then what? The courts have already ruled that welfare is an “entitlement”
In order to do this, they are going to have to come up with a way to text or phone in a bottle of piss. The social workers don’t even see the people applying for food stamps anymore.
Planning to run for office, no doubt, and getting in a little practice ahead of time..
She works twenty hours a week and wants more hours but doesn’t have 1 hour to take a drug test for her welfare....
Umm, nope. Moonbat logic can take a hike.
It's true, cops, congress, mayors, city councils, the POTUS IRS, and on and on are not randomly tested...
Try to imagine people with this kind of *power* are not.
I don’t think it is a violation of the 4th when welfare from the state is involved.
Don’t want the welfare? Your 4th is completely intact.
We in the electric power industry have to be randomly tested - and we work for our paycheck. Why shouldn’t welfare recipients be tested as well?
scott walker is already showing promise. these are exactly the sort of common sense issues that the electorate overwhelmingly supports, and makes the left reveal themselves to be raving lunatics.
On another thread it was mentioned that the arena would be financed two-thirds by private party and other third would be a twenty year bond that would be paid for out the funds[taxes] received when pro athletes visit Wisconsin.
That’s it in a nutshell.
