We are still talking about kicking druggies off of welfare, right?
I wouldn't exactly consider giving junkies money for their next fix saving humanity. But thats just me.

As has been said, oh, I don't know, 7298734923874 other times in this thread before though, not all welfare recipients use/deal drugs, in fact not even most, and those are the people the system was put in place for.

I haven't weighed in on whether or not I think the junkies should be kicked off welfare.
In fact, all I said originally was that this thread has taken me from irrationally angry to incredibly sad.
For all you know, that could be about the price of tea in China.

PiKA I do agree with you, it would serve you better to aim that comment to madmax since he believes that dumping ALL welfare recipients would be the way to go.
Besides, you know these threads tend to wander.

You can't save everybody...we aren't obligated to, but at the same time, you can't humanly just dump everyone to the wayside either.
Damned if you do...damned if you don't hm?

This isn't about dumping EVERYONE that receives welfare to the wayside. We are talking about the addicts that may be using government funds to buy drugs.
