Just a thought that went through my mind today, but would it be unreasonable to make people who collect unemployment and welfare to submit to random drug testings?
Yes, being recently unemployed myself (after working nonstop for the last 25 years)... the anger and anxiety is starting to get to me. In fact, if I decide to collect unemployment I wouldn't mind if they gave me some self-medication (drugs) while I pick up that puny check and cry, "WTF is this paltry amount, do you know how much money I've given the government!!!! I'm supposed to live on this while there's no work in true private sector? Can someone get me a beer, a joint, or meth. or something. I need to anesthetized myself."
Yeah right people NOT WORKING need to be drug tested. What a dopey fucking idea.
Oh, I just changed my mind:
I think they should subject them to religious testing as well. No welfare or unemployment for Atheists.
Or gays.
Also if we find a minimum wage job for a divorced mother she has to work, no matter what the costs to her: day-care, travel expenses, etc.
If the person wears a suit and looks presentable, seriously this guy/gal wants to work so it's obvious it's just tough out there, double the benefits.
Require GPS ankle bracelets (and a secret voice recorder) so we can keep tabs on their activities. Imagine them getting a welfare check or unemployment check and wasting it on: booze, hookers, a trip to Disneyland, a night out at the movies, or any other thing that's not an: electric bill, interest payment to a bank, an insurance payment to a health care co., a car payment, rent, food... it's beyond comprehension.
I hereby submit to your will, O' genius of the patriotic heart, your argument for big brother, is not populous BS, and has convinced me I was wrong in my initial reaction to your fucking dopey idea.
PS: Don't take this seriously. Tis just an Internet forum, having some fun, ranting, dribbling, driveling and blathering.
