And we're still ignoring the 800 lb gorilla in the room. Drug testing welfare recipients costs more than it saves and does not catch that many drug users.

I agree you make a good point, just shows anything the govt. does cost 100 times what it should. With all the red tape, I'm sure running a drug program is much more expensive for the taxpayer.
Saw another clip that even with a so called improving economy, people getting food stamps is still increasing, now almost 50 million. The stock market is soaring, but still no real job growth, in fact, last month in many states umemployment rose, it did mine.
We've created an economic model that is creating a two class system. Our jobs still go overseas in mass. The rich are getting richer, now about 15% of the rich control 80% of all real wealth in America. No party is addressing what is needed to build a thriving middle class, both still support the rich getting richer, only difference the Dems want social programs for all the poor created, the GOP just wants them to die on the vine.
