I’m not “backing” Palin for president, especially since she is not running. I’m a Ted Cruz supporter, which just about everybody here but you already knows. However, I don’t see the left criticizing Governor Walker as a bad thing. Why do you?

Closer to half. The state is putting up $220 million, the owners are putting up $150 million, and Herb Kohl is putting up $100 million.

You are correct. I had my numbers/ratios wrong.

Reply to the post in full or dont bother...cherry picking is a liberal trait.

“I have to do it, so they should too” is an adolencent argument.

“it’s not fair” is the same thing....

I bet you a 100 bucks in an FR donation it will get thrown out if passed....

Are you game?

100 bucks to FR in the form of a donation says the law gets shot down by a Federal judge if it passes.

>>Now I have to take the time out of my busy schedule to take a drug test? <<

What busy scheduled — YOU DON’T WORK!!

>>And please, never mind about that pesky unconstitutional thing. Scotty will make that go away...somehow.<<

There is no Constitutional issue here — the government can (and should!) put whatever restrictions and obligations it wants on providing benefits of any kind to anyone. The only thing required is the same apply to everyone.

People should learn the USC before trying to hide behind it.

Will the illegals he wants to let in have to be drug tested, or is this just for citizens?

Of course it would be shot down. You said yourself the game is not fair...Not fair means cheating, rigged, a bad deck, etc.

So there ya have it.

“For [Governor Walker] to put another barrier in front of us is like saying we’re guilty, but we’re not guilty,” Smith told ThinkProgress. “It’s already hard to go down there and file for government assistance. We have to report in every day, fill out papers. Now I have to take the time out of my busy schedule to take a drug test? Come on!”

She's working 20 hours a week. Oh! The agony!

So you agree that trying to pass the law is a pointless waste of time...AND MONEY....since it will have to be defended in court if it passes and will surely lose...

As I said....it’s a good idea at face value.....but when you dig deeper....it’s a useless political gesture.

And I’m not Impressed with useless political gestures....even from my own party.

There’s one problem with Walker’s idea. This government has been rewarding bad behavior re: drug users for decades now. People that have never worked but made the choice to get hooked on drugs have been able to get on nice, cushy, taxpayer-funded drug disability monthly “social security” payments which often times are even more than those that paid into the system and did NOT make bad choices. I just don’t see it happening. Ever. It would be nice though.

Of course it is. It won't pass. Millions of gov employees at all levels are unionized. They won't tolerate random testing BS. As well as all those creating the laws and those judging others won't tolerate it either.

It's like Congress opting out of Obama Care, but creating law and rules forcing others to obey or else.

Agree that all prospective candidates should be thoroughly vetted.

But, I must ask you, what do you dislike so much about Walker?

Interesting ... now if only Walker would call for the end of welfare. That would be the mark of a real conservative. I cannot for the life of me understand why Republicans don’t make the argument against welfare in its totality.

So, basically, more likely than not a working stiff will have to get drug tested as a condition of employment. However, a “low income” person can claim part of a working stiffs wages without having to succumb to a drug test to make sure they are not spending the working stiffs wages on drugs
