Drug test for welfare recipients

[LegginMF12]

did anyone see the Colbert Report where he interviewed the lawmaker who pushed to have this law in place./ The law make said if people wish access to tax payer money they should take a drug test.
Colbert pointed out the lawmaker was paid by the tax payers and asked him to take a drug test
The lawmaker refused and Colbert pointed out what the lawmaker said earlier.
The law maker then said if thy made a law requiring him to take a drug test to be tax payer paid he would, other wise he would refuse to take a drug test.
Colbert insisted that he could take it there and now, but the lawmaker still refused.

Should only the poor who are given tax payer money should be subject to invasive procedure?. should the lawmakers be exempt because they're rich and of course... make the laws?


BTW this new law would actually cost far more to enforce than it would save, and the same people pushing for this law are the same ones screaming that the other side is killing the budget

I think we should drug test our entire government on a regular basis!

Just workers or elected officials?

Birth control is not a health issue. It disables a normal function of a woman and should not be covered.

Maybe her health insurance won't cover birth control pills

Calling her a name would be insulting I merely call it as I see it. She pretty much insults other responsible women actually... married or single.

Not sure I see 2 kids at 24 as unusual..... Nor do I see any reason for insulting her or women in general for being single....

I found it! I was searching unsuccessfully for a while, until I learned that it was on The Daily Show, not The Colbert Report. You can watch the segment in the link below:

P.S. Hi, KristyHall!

Well since you asked... don't sweat the small things in life it will do your blood pressure some good. If I insult someone they will know it. This is an open forum where all opinions are welcome and is not some overly sensitive work environment where everyone tiptoes around the folks that get their panties in a wad when they hear something that upsets their applecart.

If you do not like what is said about welfare queens why in the **** are you here? Can you not just move on when you hear something you get upset over? "newsflash" I do not post to please you.

Chickened....in this thread you have succeeded in making a racist remark about people who are not white. Now you are spilling stuff that is insulting to most women. Should we wait with anticipation to see who you will attack next or, maybe, you will come to the conclusion that your comments in that regard are not fitting??
