Dez, I know you're gonna like this one :ror:
EDIT: Not that I'm against anybody's herbal usage, I just think they should pay for it themselves.

I'd take this a step further as well.

If you want unemployment, you would have to perform community service to get your check. The first 3 months, maybe only like 10hrs/week. 3-6 months, 20hrs/week. 1yr+ 40hrs/week. You could almost do something along this line with welfare too IMO.

I bet it motivate people to either get off of governemt assistance, or at least they would be giving back in way or another.

Nothing should be for free.

i think they should see what cars they have registered in theyre names too. if you can afford to drive a freaking Cadillac escalade then you do not need welfare.

Bingo.

I think we'd find there is a much higher % of obese people mooching off the system than people who use drugs.

At the same time the statement was intended to be sarcastic.

I think there are better ways to "approve" people for govt help than by meddling in their personal choices/habbits.

People have the choice for help. They aren't forced into it. No one HAS to take unemployment, though for as easy as it can be to get, a lot people choose to. For some reason people think that once they make X amount per hour, that they are entitled to that and won't take a job until they can get that. So in order to persuade people to make tough decisions, you have to have them give to get. It's a sliding scale IMO. The longer you are on it, the more you have to give to get.

If it was communism, as soon as you were fired/laid off or w/e, you would be forced to be on the government payroll. You would get your walking papers with an appointment to meet your government rep.

I like where you are going with this, but have you actually tried to look for and attend interviews for a job while holding down another full time job?

Except I don't think Mc Donalds accepts EBT cards?
How about those who work for their money, that have to take a drug test to be employed?
Isn't the employer "meddling in their personal choices/habits?

I dont agree with that either. Completely irrelevant to the subject at hand (the job). And you can scrutinize it all the way down to a cup of coffee or going to church 4 times a week.

I have absolutely nothing against people who decide to not use drugs soley on the fact that they have a job that requires a test; people who used to, or would if they didnt have to be tested. I feel a bit sorry for them if anything. Kind of like oppressed people...but again, its all a choice.

 

[kasper]

I suport this and all other states need to follow

 

[dshelowjr]

I think its awesome!!! As a taxpayer ,I don't want to pay for deadbeat drug addicts to sit around & get high. If you want to get high , get a job. Don't ask for handouts."thumbsup"
