(3,894 posts)But we need to be sure to remind/point out to all the wingers we know that this isn't small gov't, and it isn't useful, and it causes state and federal budgets issues/deficits because of its complete waste of taxpayer money.
Did I say, it's a complete waste of taxes? Yep, and I'll keep saying it, because that's the only financial/economic word they know, and they are claiming this is an economic decision to get rid of welfare waste...... This would be the waste. Did I just say that? Let me say it again and again. Oh, wait, ya'll are the choir, okay off to enemy camps to spread the word.
Yes, I'm feeling temporarily goofy, got to blow off some anxiety somehow and silly seems better than anything else. My apologies.

(10,602 posts)Drug testing is about punishing someone who is desperate because you can do it with impunity. It is a form of sadism. Colorado just had a GOP pee cup bill pass out of committee today. Now the GOP is proposing mandatory voluntary work for unemployment recipients.
This crap won't stop until one of these bastards is confronted to his or her damned face. They don't fear the publlc or the people they abuse. They can just go to their gated community or hide behind their private security guards when they have a meeting or meet in some secret location with their filthy rich donors while they plot how they can abuse their constituency more effectively.
They won't quit until they are forced to or are voted out. And if you openly dissent and demonstrate they will just have the cops beat you senseless or gas you.
