Yep, in my line of work I get DS'ed once or twice a year.  How about giving me a tax break for every test I pass ?


OK. How about we start this idea off to where IF you did pass a drug test you can a little bit more benefits. Then they cannot claim we want people to starve, and their kids too.

Back atchya ...... you want to take money away from kids or kick them off the doles or put their kids into a broken foster home system ... classy.

I used to work in the inner-city, and trust me when I say that the welfare queens are NOT spending the money on the kids like they should be. That money goes for their hair, nails, expensive cars and gadgets, big-screen TVs, and cable. These kids don't usually see a dime of that money anyway, so I don't think that it's taking anything away from them if we tell these women "If you have one more kid while you collect welfare, you'll be kicked out of the program and your kids taken from you."

I won't lie, the child services program is horribly broken; however, I think being in a home where the family isn't on welfare is a hell of a lot better than letting these kids run wild on the streets while Mommy is getting her weave done.
