Ahh ok gotcha. Sorry about that. I just really find it unfortunate that there are people who are really struggling and really trying. If they did drug testing, and stopped giving to those who tested positive or are caught dealing, maybe there'd be more to give to those who really do deserve it.
I feel the same about unemployment. I went to our local unemployment place (Michigan Works) and there was a girl, not more than 18, filing for unemployment. It really pissed me off because when I was 18, I was working at an ice cream parlor, followed by a part time job at a hair salon. I never would have dreamed about filing unemployment back then because at that age there are so many different jobs... fast food, KMart, Target, etc. **all of which are hiring** My point is, I'm on unemployment because I got "laid off" and I am actively seeking a job everyday... but I have known people who receive unemployment who sit on their ass everyday, not looking for a job, who go shopping every chance they get.
I see that the same as the welfare thing. There are those who deserve and there are those who don't. How do you weed them out?
