How to Balance the Budget

Sometimes such a simple idea has SO much merit . . .

Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please under stand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their A#@, doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check ?

Something has to change in this country -- and soon!

But, first, you'll have to get rid of all the BLEEDING HEARTS. Of course, most of them will probably fail the urine test too... (didn't study hard enough, eh?)

Thats a great idea....an incentive to sober these people up.

And first thing I'll do is buy stock in the companies that make the test kits.... free enterprise baby :)

Dammit Jumbo... Root Beer all over the monitor! :twisted: I was actually picturing the scene from the Wizard of Oz, (pay no attention to the man behind the curtain) Not quite as graphic as your scenario. :shock:

So, you're saying Republican politicians don't do illegal drugs? Didn't a certain future president quit showing up for the military when it came time for his piss test?

I'd bet UA failure rates would be the same for both sides of the aisle in congress. The difference would be whether they fail for pot or coke. Or oxycontin maybe.

With that said, in addition to the people giving and getting the welfare money, I think we should also UA the entire congress and the president.
