Random Bitching Monologues

[Diomedes]

No one and nothing loves money more than the Federal government.

Ha.  But yeah, we can agree the tax system is an awful example of government.

[Rome]

Libertarians are right. All of you are wrong.

Ha.  I'm a Libertarian and I'm usually wrong about everything.  Well, other than Jessica, that is.

[Diomedes]

... and I'm usually wrong about everything.

At least you got that right, skippy.

Good.  I believe that's one of the deep-seeded roots of the problems with our government.

[Rome]

Considering you and I often find ourselves in agreement, I wouldn't be so quick to agree with me, DIO.

today's topic:  mandatory drug tests for welfare recipients


GO!

[Father Demon]

Great idea.  Trace of drugs?  No government money for you.  Go back to prostituting yourself or holding up liquor stores.

today's topic:  mandatory drug tests for welfare recipients

Why not make drug testing mandatory for everyone then?  What makes welfare recipients so special that only they should be tested.  God knows the rest of us are also using government services and benefiting from public money. 

Test everyone.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Go back to prostituting yourself or holding up liquor stores.

You're assuming that some don't "double dip" with their illegitimate business and their welfare check anyway.

Test everyone.

they're getting cash handouts for doing nothing so that's what makes them "special".
but i'm okay with testing everyone if you'd rather go that route.

[Susquehanna Birder]

Test everyone.

Works for me.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Testing everyone wastes a lot of taxpayer money.  No.

Welfare is a mess.  Social Security is a mess.  Medicare is a mess.  The tax system is a mess.  If the government actually worked towards real solutions to simplify and streamline those 4 areas, they could put tax dollars to good use and help a lot of people.  My problem is that all of the above are run so inefficiently and an all-too-small percentage of dollars actually gets to its intended recipients after it clears the red tape and bureaucracy.

We can't solve any issue by simply raising taxes and throwing money at them.  The government needs a real plan, but any of the politicians that actually have quality ideas lose the public attention quickly and can't get elected.

Hey guys, the simple solution is to legalize any drug that is any of the following:
1. As or Less addictive than currently legal drugs.
2. As or Less physically harmful than currently legal drugs.

There, problem solved. Legalize drugs that have been arbitrarily prohibited and test for anything else.

Now shut up.

[Father Demon]

Plus, even more revenue for the government after they tax it all.

[Seabiscuit36]

Its very simple Weed = Alcohol, you cant drink at work, same goes for smoking.  Tax it, cut down on illegal sales and that will put more resources to go after the harder drugs.
