One place I worked began a random drug testing program but they only wanted it to apply to field employees. I was the only manager who said it should be applied across the board, office and field alike. Boy, did I lay an egg on that one! I never saw so many pained looks around a conference table.
IT WAS SO COOL!!! MOST FUN I HAD IN THE 15 YEARS I WAS THERE! Next round of layoffs I was gone. It was still fun to see the bastards squirm.
“WTF is wrong with so called conservative Republicans. Why isn’t the idea that government should stay out of peoples lives a core conservative belief? “
you’re right. We should eliminate UI completely. But until that happens, if someone takes our money then he has to play by our conditions and use that money to get back on his feet again. Spending taxpayer’s hard earned money on drugs aint gonna do that.
if you work for Geithner, it is already assumed that you must be on drugs.
But what drugs will they find? Refer? Beer? Viagra?
What really needs to be implemented is a 'greed' test on aholes like Dodd, Frank, and others who habitually run our economy into the ditch trying to win votes from idiots who receive the benefits they promise.
I'd get in the buffet line, but it's currently swamped by corporate bigwigs and others who've sold their souls for the 'free cheese'.
you want welfare with no restrictions.
I want the government out of peoples lives whether you call your self a fiscal conservative, a social conservative, a progressive or a liberal if you want the government mandating shit like this you are no conservative.
Not a bad idea and they should add to that random drug tests for all public officials. Zero is on drugs, we all know that.
With the employee paying in to unemployment and the employer also, how much is from taxes??
so don’t take the money in the first place and the govt won’t ask for drug testing. Probably your employer will but that’s their right and you could make up your own job if you don’t like their conditions.
The steam roller of communism/socialism is here and people aren’t seeing it coming, amazing.
You’re not a conservative. You’re a freeloader.
Yes once you start accepting government control of other peoples lives its not to soon that you start accepting government control of your life..
This is stupid. These people are unemployed not out on parole.
It was but it isn't anymore. Few Republicans today follow this core conservative value. Failing to adhere to the "government should stay out of people's lives" ethos makes Republicans and Democrats two different sides of the same coin.
Sure, the merits of drug testing can be rationalized through the power, need or desire of the State to protect its expenditure. This same line of thinking is what will allow the State to ration health services when/if universal health care takes root. Either side of the coin, it's to the benefit of tyranny and the detriment of freedom.
Excellant point
There is so much more coming and so many aren’t aware of any of it. I just read a thread about Obama’s Zero to Five plan about mandatory preschool, and from birth no less. WTH is going on?????????

In my opinion Obama is a master of picking off just enough people with his rhetoric no matter what they call themselves politically to be able to push through his aganda.
This is why I'm so disgusted with conservatives today. So many people want an activist government, so many think the government is their friend. Good government is limited government but once the citizens accept government intrusion to promote their agenda then they are co-opted and cannot argue or present a conservative view of government.
this site is loaded with many less than conservative...I knew the answer to my own WTH question :)
