Great idea, but it'll be knocked down by a judge within 24 hours of being signed into law. And as for jobs .... I could have ten full-time, good paying jobs within a week if I were physically able to do them and honestly, I look like the wreck of the Hesperus. Maybe they live in the wrong state?

[Steven Tyler]

...Now I have to take the time out of my busy schedule...

Poor dear is too busy to hold down a full time job

[Cringing Negativism Network]

Very good idea Governor Walker.

Sure America needs (badly) to return American jobs right here, and to stop importing everything from China.

But we also need to be on the left, to stop ruining America’s working age people.

Very good move, Governor.

[Logical me]

This is why Scott Walker would make a fantastic candidate. Drug Testing should be a requirement for welfare. All welfare and especially food stamps.

[exDemMom]

This is satire—right?

[Dante3]

Good idea. But many good ideas have been struck down by judges who are allowed to have way too much power. I recall many years ago one judge in Arizona even ruled on school budgets.

"Scott Walker Wants To Drug-Test Welfare Recipients (And the Left howls!)"

I suppose they believe that their free obamacare drug tests are confidential.

[dragnet2]

Agree about the welfare...

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...

Those lower on the food chains are such easy targets...

[mountainlion]

How selfish. He should test the liberals also so they won’t howl so much.

[Star Traveler]

I think everyone should be drug tested ... as drugs (not prescriptions from doctors) are the SCOURGE of our society!

[Bubba Ho-Tep]

They tried this in Florida and found that the costs of the program—the tests, the labs, the technicians, the administrators—outweighed the savings in excluding people who failed by a large margin.

Smith, who has a three-year-old daughter and another baby due soon, works about 20 hours a week at Denny’s — though she has repeatedly requested full-time employment. Because it’s a tipped job, she makes just $2.33 an hour, and currently relies on food stamps to feed her family.

“I’m willing to work. I’m not lazy at all,” she said. “But the jobs we can get are horrible, low pay, and we can’t get the hours we need. As a parent, it just sucks. I want things that are healthy for her, but the fruits and vegetables she needs to grow as young child are expensive.”

Yet, I read nothing 'bout her prior education (dropout??), hubby, nor why baby #2 (which will take her out of the employment pool shortly anyway) was such a 'great idea'....let alone why the presumption everyone else would be required to pay for these bad decisions Leeches, one and all (ok, for the MOST part). And here I thought there was a Constitution to be followed: No property taken, yadda, yadda

Everybody knows that illegal drug sales spike every time that the EBT cards get loaded. Our tax dollars drive the Cartels money machine. Messing with that will get you killed either by the corrupt government or directly by the Cartels.

Smith, who has a three-year-old daughter and another baby due soon ...
I didn't see any mention of a husband or any fathers either.

[hadaclueonce]

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.

[Mears]

“Smith, who has a three-year-old daughter and another baby due soon-——”

—

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

[Crim]

It keeps getting slapped down becuase no matter how good the idea sounds...it’s a violation of the 4th.

[Borax Queen]

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.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

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.

[max americana]

The left does not “howl”

They “HEE HAWW” like jackasses..

[noah]

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!
