This cartoon would go from "worst" to "best" if it was re-labeled "Private Health Care".

Seconded.

I can understand why people get angry when drug addicts use welfare money to purchase narcotics, but I can think of about a zillion problems that would arise if the state began cutting off benefits based on failed drug tests, especially if they're testing for soft drugs like marijuana in addition to the harder stuff.

Not to mention they actually did this, and found out that welfare recipients were the least likely to use drugs.
I'd be more sympathetic if people here didn't act like they knew what they were saying when they were saying something very much wrong.

I don't think that employers require drug testing for applications. I know mine required it as a condition of accepting the job offer, but that was after I'd turned in my application and gone to two interviews. And, unlike welfare drug testing, they paid for it. Completely. They might have required reimbursement if I failed it, but  I don't think so.

It's working out great in Florida.
It's just another excuse to slam the poor, that's all it is. But these are the same people who think that those on welfare stay on it for decades, despite that the Welfare Reform law of 1996 is still on the books, which turned Welfare into a more or less a jobs program.

I love how these people contradict their own goals. Want to end abortion? Discourage contraception! Avoid death panels? Support a system that allows insurance companies to deny coverage based on preexisting conditions! Get people off welfare? Oppose funding job training and treatment programs!

Seriously, their solution is always just "BAN FUCKING EVERYTHING!*

In case no one saw this.  Saw this on FB.  Apparently schools are full of Food Fascists now..


It's based on this...
