    A 1% percenter? Nope, not really.

    Not accurate. I do say the program is expensive and does not do what the politicians promised. Also, the data shows that welfare applicants are less likely to use drugs than people making more money. This is the real topic of the thread.


    Yes, but that is a different topic. But yes, people should be identified and helped.

    Oh, well, you just want the state welfare department in a state where you don't live to be compelled by federal law to issue the check but you don't want anything to be done by welfare to help those in the ditch of addiction because it would cost the state too much money.

    How are things in the south of France, Crabtown?

    Well, what are the costs? Is the price of 80 urinalysis tests greater then the cost of 20 years (20 people x 1 year) worth of benefits?

    Maybe I'm a little jaded, since I've probably taked close to 50 or so urinalysis tests over the last 19 years.

    I have an ideal - end all government welfare - then there will be no need to test them.

    It is so difficult for me to try to debate with someone as intelligent as Crabtown because he always says that I am stupid because I don't believe in evolution, I think that the unborn child is a human being, and I don't think that man causes climate change and I think that drug addicts should be helped with addictions, and I believe that essential doctrines of Christianity have not changed, and I do not live in the south of France.
