Alabama Senate passes bill to drug test welfare recipients

Sounds great but there is no way that we can meet demand. I think that's primarily the reason for NAFTA and GAAT (which is a joke) in the first place. Well, that and a way to neuter the unions but it's difficult, imo, for American companies that make low margin product to pay the American worker (or even find enough willing to work) what they would demand in order to produce these products. Most would rather live off of the gov't rather than take a low wage job and I might add that I damn sure don't blame them. I used to blame them but not anymore. It's a smart business decision. That's what the incentive to do is. Milk the tit.

Joe Bob down the street has seemed to live well off of unemployment/ss disability/welfare and he goes fishing every day, so hell, so will I.

We seem to be damned if we do or don't. And that goes for small businesses as well. The influx of gov't intrusion and control deters business in a major way.

Not as much as trial lawyer but close.

I see your argument there and I might add......wait...what the?  Why you sonofa...

So WTH you got against fishing? You PETA pecker!

Fish have feelings too, ya know. So, here's the catch. I was a Reagan supporter and proud libertarian (I guess) but there's this babe in one of my classes who was a big PETA supporter that invited me to a "environmental" meeting.

Her tits were as big as your head and she had the most luptious lips outside of a camel that I'd ever seen.

 I went to a Greenpeace meeting. It was a pm in the Haley center. I did not get laid and did not go back.

Picture says it all. Idiots politicians and their ilk.

As it stands, it sets the table for future laws with more teeth. Or maybe it will get scrapped. But at least this says the welfare subject is getting attention. But until you actually start dropping people from the rolls, nothing will help. Its a game that worth the gamble for many of them.

I can't say that I agree with this line of thinking.

Why do we need to set the table for an acceptable law in the future with an unacceptable law now?  Why not just attempt to pass a more logical and effective law now, instead of an illogical and ineffective law?

It would be like saying the lock on my front door is broken, but instead of fixing it, I'm going to duct tape the door shut.  It won't keep anyone out, but at least I'm giving my broken door some attention and maybe the tape will remind me to actually fix it some time in the future.

Wow.

Rorschach was on to something.
