Last year, state Representative John LaBruzzo, R-Metairie, brought up the idea to pay poor women to be sterilized has another controversial proposal on the table; now, he’s proposing to block government aid to certain convicted felons for up to a decade and require all welfare recipients to undergo drug screenings.

How about Drug testing for politicians. Transportation workers must undergo drug testing in case of accidents. There is no bigger train wreck in history than the one our politicians are driving right now!

Drug testing? Is that testing for the presence of drugs, or testing new drugs? Nice play on words…
March 31st, 2009 at 12:43 pm
See this —Government Panel Recommends All Teens be Tested for Depression—
What I fear is that they will not only test you for durgs that you are taking, but also the drugs they want you to take.
Sure it will start with the convicted felons (That could be anyone soon) and welfare recipients.
No cares about them right???!!!
Then the Obama youth bergades will also have drug testing, for the kids and the parents.
Knock, Kock…anyone Home???

I support this also they should be tested and also made to do volunteer work for 20 hours a week at least doing daycare or helping with local jobs.
The people on welfare should have to contribute back to the society who is taking care of them and we would like to know our money isnt going to drugs.
If they dont like it get off welfare

As for HardBoiled’s comment, I can see where you are coming from. Anything like this is always in danger of being used as a backdoor for some government scum to screw us up with. Let’s hope it doesn’t go that direction at all, and if it does, that people will speak up in unison about it. We all know the ones who want a free lunch always cry the loudest anyway.

Clarifying: I understand there are those who desperately need assistance due to life circumstances, and I do not direct my negative comments against them. Just the ones who suck our nation dry so they can buy their flat screens and drug juice but are able to work just the same.

Once they mandate a drug test for something like this, it will spread. To get your drivers license will be next..then for ANY health care, then to vote, then to live. No thanks…I mean our criminal congress gave away billions to bankers and there were no drug tests on EITHER side of that fence..
No drug testing.

What do you mean you doubt I’m what my name says I am.
My name is David Moy whichindian= white chinese indian
I have never had any benefit from the government and I never look forward to it. I know people on welfare and they take all the benefits and are never asked to pay them back. The people I see with ebt cards always buy snacks, I was at a Hostess outlet store and this woman bought 60 dollars worth of Twinkies on her blue ebt card.
Now this is outrageous I live in Minnesota and our welfare system will give anyone anything. I dont have health insurance but when I needed to go to the Dr. I pay full price for the service they provide me.
I say stop the welfare system now and move these people who have been on it for 2 years or more to land where they can farm and provide for themselves. While working to reimburse the money they are “borrowing”.
If they dont like it again get off welfare

So you would rather someone who got hooked on Government Supplied drugs to come rob you instead of waiting on a small check to feed themselves. Just make sure you give them a card that can only buy food. Making them do something in return is a good idea. I agree.
I think Rush Limpballs will need a bailout one day when he loses his job because Oxycoton makes his mouth drool out dumb statements.
Just legalize Hemp (makes almost anything Fossil fuels can make) and let people enjoy their joint at 4:20 instead of a stiff drink. How about testing everyone for alchohol while we are at it. Hemp can put thousands of farmers to work.

Ok I understand hemp can replace our fuels. But so can water for that fact without all the land use. If you take land and use it for fuel that equals less food and less food means higher food prices which doesnt really solve the problem.
I live in Minnesota and the choice to use ethanol using food for gas was and is a terrible idea. It has raised the price of corn dramatically. So the argument for hemp is a bad one I know how many things you can do with it. But in the end it will cost us more to live the same way we live now.

“My goal is to try and make sure that we’re saving the taxpayer’s money and we’re getting the biggest bang for our buck” – if CONgress was really interested in saving taxpayers money there are thousands of other ways to accomplish this. I see this as just another layer of control for those people who CONgress stole their ability to support themselves in the first place. If they choose to use illegal drugs, then they are choosing to abort the program. Across the board drug testing is not the solution, however. Remember we need a smaller federal government that takes its orders from the people, not the other way around. Attacks on the poor is now common place. Soon you will be the ones on welfare(or dead) from the orcistrated food crisis. Most clients on the HUD Section 8 program recieve no more than $8,000FRN in assistance. While our billionare banker “friends” have little or no intervention.

I think t’s about freaking time.
I have to pass a drug test for employment, so those that collect wellfare to feed their kids should be able to put aside their drug habit in order to do it.
As for the ex-cons, well they served their time and are now at a disadvantage in the employment world, so if they can pass a drug test they should be allowed to receive the same as anyone else.
March 31st, 2009 at 12:56 pm
I’m truely surprised that state Representative John LaBruzzo hasn’t introduced a bill to drag poor folks & certain convicted felons out behind a sports stadium and invest 50 cents for a 9mm bullet! Strictly as a cost cutting measure you see. Fricking idiots like him should be the first to live in a cardboard box & eat dumpster delicacies!
People can CHOOSE to work at a job that requires drug testing. People usually HAVE NO CHOICE when they go on assistance! Choice=testing, no choice NO TESTING! I hope that is simple enough for even a state Representative to understand.

As an aside.. many many many people collecting assistance might be taking the alcohol (which is far worse for job hunting)

They think that this would be a GREAT way to give the PEOPLE less.
The ELITE want it all, every last penny.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:16 pm
I think they should do it. If your recieving government money and you spend it on drugs and rims then you don’t deserve to get it.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:25 pm
They should extend it to include all bank executives who recieved bail out money too. Pretty much it should include ANYONE living off of the taxpayers in any way. That includes you Mr. President, Mr. & Mrs. Senators, and Mr. & Mrs. Congressman. Oh yeah don’t forget the state government. They should be tested too. After all I have to pass a drug test to work for the state, they should have to in order to run the state. Cheers to making it an even playing field.

Agree 100%! If you want the money, you have to put up with their BS.
I grew up low-income and have seen welfare abuse first hand… I’d say 60% abuse the system(drugs, alcohol,rims,neglected kids,baby daddys living in home-not working).
So that 60% will ruin it for the 40% that really needs it.
Most times I would be against something like this, but in this case, if you dont like it, get off.
As for the politican scumbags… this will be a good way to cut our government down by 80%!

The trap door problem is that it would end with testing welfare recipients. It’s a ploy to expand or cast a wider net on drug testing (and hence government control) over more and more facets of freedom. Actually, its non-freedom, because no one is free.

I am pretty sure drug testing is a violation of the 4th Amendment in the Constitution. No one should drug test. It is an invasion of personal privacy. It’s a destructive habit, but that fact alone does not supercede the Constitutional guarantees for individual liberty and freedom.
March 31st, 2009 at 1:51 pm
There is a bill here in the West Virginia House now as well doing the same thing but maybe worse. Our bill doesn’t say anything about felony in it. Just that if you fail a mandatory drug screening you lose all welfare benefits.
http://www.legis.state.wv.us/B.....20intr.htm
Just today they voted on a motion to discharge and it failed 30/70 so it looks like 70% are wanting to see this thing passed. By the way, our House is 29% Republican and 71% Dems. Think that’s a coincidence? Nope. Only one member, Tom Louisos(D), actually voted his conscious instead of his party line. I really don’t even think most members read these bills. They must get a printout from their Majority/Minority leaders/whips that tells them how to vote for each and every upcoming bill. How else do they vote so perfectly with their whole party? This is just a few people behind closed doors that decide for their entire state, and the rest of these party line lapdogs do as their told.

I am a truck driver.my industry is probly the most regulated in the country.they pull hair samples in some states for drivers…
although i dont agree with drug testing at all.not one bit,but if everyone else has to drop a urine sample so should they the welfare people..half of the people on welfare are doin more drugs and selling there food stamps or food card or whatever to get drugs…this is tax payer money so i say cut them off if there is dope in them..if i lose my job cause of a stupid joint so should they…
sorry welfare people but your dead weight is takin down the country,and its onr thing to be on it temperary but 3 and four generations…

March 31st, 2009 at 2:18 pm
all of you are pissed off because obama is forcing us to volunteer and forcing us to give money to the poor, i think this is a great idea why not. if you are on welfare recieving free money, why not have to be drug tested? i have to be ddrug tested to earn my check every week, and the government takes money from that weekly check and then distributes it to people with no jobs, and who cant afford to earn a living because they dont want to work? i think welfare recipients should have to be drugtested just like every other person who must actually work in order to earn a living.
March 31st, 2009 at 2:20 pm
I think anyone who is on welfare after a certain set time should be forced as a condition of receiving further assistance to move into public housing. Once there, they and their children could be provided with 3 square meals a day at a government run kitchen and dining hall located within the public housing complex. They would be provided with decent shoes and warm clothing and a living quarters comparable to the size of their family. They would also get medical care provided. They would receive no money whatsoever from the government in either cash or foodstamps, as all their basic needs would be provided for. How long do you think these poor unfortunate losers would stay on welfare if these were the rules. I see no problem at all with this plan, as the children would always be well fed and have clothing and a warm place to sleep. Mom or dad couldn’t go cash the check and blow it on drugs, cigarettes, or booze. It would also save those of us that work a hell of a lot of money.

I see your point, but your plan merely gives government MORE control and influence over peoples lives.
I don’t know many people that watch the government’s corrupt, juvenile conduct and then conclude that government should play a larger role in society.
Politicians created welfare to get people dependent on the government and to buy votes.
Now their budgets are shot to pieces and they’re looking for ways to cut the expense.
There are better ways to do all of this – ways that actually benefit the society at large AND the individuals involved.
Don’t fight the system:

This plan doesn’t give the government any control over your life unless you are a long term welfare case. Who cares about them?? At least you could be sure that their kids weren’t suffering. I think that anyone who shows no inclination to be a productive member of society and lives off the sweat and labor of others should be inconvenienced as much as possible. No TV’s, no Nikes, no jewelry no cigarettes. If you want any of those things get a job like the poor bastards who have been supporting you for years.

vaportrail , I agree with you 100%. You’d be sick to know how many drug dealers and users are living in government-paid-for apartments and houses, collecting welfare, getting free food and all the supplies needed for their kids for free.
I also agreed with the bill to pay poor men and women receiving assistance to be sterilized. Anyone I’ve ever known who has a baby and goes on public aid continues to breed indiscriminately. If they cannot keep their legs closed, pay them to be sterilized. I’d be happy to know my taxes went to preventing abortions, unwanted pregnancies, and welfare recipients.
State aid was intended to give people a hand up who had fallen on hard times. Now, far too many people use it as a financial planning tool!
Pay them for sterilization, refuse to help out $$$ with children conceived after they went on state aid, drug test them, and finally implement vaportrail’s plan. I say give them a year to get it together, or then it is off to government housing.

You don’t get it…They allow them to live in sec 8 houses to run the price of real estate up. The homes they live in, owned by investors, wouldn’t be worth as much if “working people” had to pay to live there. The market value would drop to the rate that people could actually afford to pay based on wages earned, not subsidies. Its part of the bubble. Those that end up on welfare, for the most part are products of the disfuctional educational system, who had parents that were part of the disfunctional educational system, soon coming to a suburb near you! So you see, eventually we’ll all be in the same boat. Poor, illiterate, jobless, and dependant. I did a paper on this subject. What I found is that less than 1% of the federal budget goes toward welfare payments. Now CORPORATE payments is another story. They are distracting us from the real leeches. If you’re concerned about your tax dollars, look at corporate welfare. If you’re concerned about poor people, eliminate the dumbing down of Americans. If you’re concerned about convicts end the privatization of prisons for profit and the erroneous war on drugs. And if you’re really concerned about drug use, indite the cia.
March 31st, 2009 at 3:10 pm
No… a convicted felon for rape, armed robbery, or assault. Stealing bread is not a felonious crime.
Does putting food on the table justify commiting a crime?
So because you want to keep felons out of prison you will allow them to milk the system… makes a lot of sense.

What a damn assanine way to further hinder a person’s progress, rehabilitation, success, or chance to get ahead with some type of assistance.
How can they shout for helping those in need when they would be denied help for being a certain type of felon. Very discriminatory and demeaning. As if it is okay to be a certain felon and not this type of felon or it is okay to commit this crime because years down the road when you need aid assistance you will be able to get it or not get it?
What in the fuck do these bastards think. How do they think. Right. They don’t think or they think of more and more ways to destabilize the people to go out and commit even more crimes because they’re hungry. or made a mistake and should be pardoned or forgiven for it.
and undergo mandatory drug screenings. Since when are we guilty until proven innocent? What about the Bill of Rights or the Constitution. Oh, let me guess, it is gone out of the window just like the rest of decency in this country.
some felons just don’t get a break nowadays. I know I am a felon and getting a job now is extremely difficult in the town I am in. And I am in a big city and still can’t get a fuckin’ job.

All done by design my friend. The greatest weapon they actually use is denying the children in society a quality public education where they would learn about the Constitution (hence, their rights) and basic things like finance or contracts. By keeping you uninformed, it is easier to rule over you. You made a mistake, they put it on a record. The record follows you everywhere. Then the employers follow through and always perpetuate the penalty by denying you a chance to make an honest living. But, if it makes you feel any better, and it probably won’t, jobs are so few and far between that non-felons are not getting hired under the current crisis. I am really starting to think that as a people we need to start making things ourselves and doing business in a non-official, underground, real free economy. It is truly a stranglehold.

Also,only those that own property should vote(except women,they shouldn’t vote at all).

Yeah, I know, I was just venting. The people on welfare have always been tools of the state, and the Elites just needed their votes and support to push an agenda of gargantuan, overbearing government. Now that the Elites have had their Wall Street coup, they probably don’t even need to buy people off with traditional welfare payments. Maybe they’ll toss the present welfare cases overboard — first through drug testing, then with any other reason they can find NOT to pay these people anything. Now that the Elites are taking total control of the cash flow, they’ll find any excuse not to share a penny of it! Unless of course you are useful to them…
March 31st, 2009 at 7:17 pm
I don’t have a problem cutting people off of welfare if they are able bodied and capable of working. They need to work and should support themselves. I do however have a problem telling people how to live. They start with the ones that they already own then move on to those of us who are beholden to no one.

You guys all make good points in regard to this topic. There is something that I do want to point out: At what point does it all stop? This is just more government infringement. Of course there’s welfare cheats who are doing drugs, and there are politicians in high places who do drugs too. So if the welfare cheats can’t get drugs with the welfare money then they’ll get stoned on something else. That’s a no brainer. An addict is an addict is an addict. What’s really important is when the government decides to come to your home and test you for drugs when you are not on welfare it will be too late to see this wake up call. The government continues to take away more rights at the same time implementing new laws against a free republic.

It’s easy to put a label on others. We need to look out for ourselves, but there is a greater societal good that promotes our indidual interests. Freedom cannot be compromised.

100% correct. The people have no power and are not the source of these problems. These abuses know most of us are gullible and dumbed down, and will fall for and give over are rights willingly if the couch the fraud in the context of the proper language. We go along in blaming other victims as the source of our problems, when the real problem is any action, law, or individual that promotes contraction of promised or guaranteed freedoms. The drugs are introduced into society to stifle our minds so we lose our ability to understand the truth. Drug testing is a red herring.

It would be good for those ex-felons to have firearms, because they may be the militia that keeps these country away from total fascism. It’s funny that because someone did the time for the crime, they are deprived the right to make good on the rest of their life. It’s an illogical thesis. It would pass the logical mind.

The point is that you can keep working forever, but you will be underpaid or unpaid, and you will never be a landowner. You good attitude and your hard effort and your dedication will be exploited. You will never get the value or life you should have because you are not working in a free system. That’s what wrong with this tyranny. Hard work should have its reward.

The photo is an accurate depiction of our biggest crime creating machine in the US,a single Black mother whose male offspring engage in levels of crime and aggression that is difficult to comprehend.
The female offspring serve to perpetuate the insane cycle.
AND WE ARE COMPELLED BY LAW TO SUSTAIN THEM!

It won’t stop because citizens never say “no”. The concept comes across as beneficial for society, when it has no benefit at all. Citizens being gullible provide their consent viewing the proposal as harmless. All it is really an assualt on your rights to privacy and freedom. I think the 4th Amendment is violated every time you provide a drug test.

As a libertarian, I fully believe if you people out there want to smoke dope and kill your braincells, go for it. All we do is insure corrupt pushers, cops, and judges continue to milk the system. I am going on 60 and I do not know one inteligent hard worker nonparanoid who has been smoking just pot for years. Drugs are meant to make you stupid and turn you into sheeple for the NWO masters!
That being said the Fair Tax is the solution. All those getting gov subsistance will get $20,000 dollars spread over a year along with the rest of us. THEN evetrything is taxed at the intitial purchase. Half the country is getting some kind of gov checks now, it takes 3 bucks to put a buck into someones hands. It’s cheaper just to let everyone get it and let them work if they want to.

I work full time. I take two classes a week at a university. I have a 3 year old boy. I’m also a recipient of government benefits. I get help with the cost of day care. We get $340.00 a month in food stamps. My son’s on Medicaid, but I’m not. I’m uninsured. We don’t have public housing, but because of the other benefits, I’m actually able to afford rent. After a long day at work/school/motherhood, when my kid goes to bed, instead of cracking a beer, I roll a joint.
I would never ’sell’ or ‘trade’ my food stamps for ganj.
Don’t forget that not every single welfare recipient is a leech. Some of us actually use it the way it’s intended.
Oh, and I got an IUD in the hospital after having my son. I don’t need any more children right now, and I’m quite, quite aware of that.
