300 dollars a person to find out 1 in every 30,000 people test positive for illegal drugs so that the politician who bought a urine and blood testing company can make more money that is all that is our Florida Governor already did that.
 Quoting: TheMacaroni


Actually, the cost of testing is no where near what it was a couple of years ago.

You can now run a full-spectrum drug analysis on a person for about $6-7 dollars.
 Quoting: Dr. Lecter


And charge three to four hundred just like the 500 dollar hammers Government buys.Now you know the real scam.

Re: Tennessee proposes welfare reform?
Let's stop and think about this for a moment.

Life is not fair.

It never has and never will be. This is a good thing for something called motovation.

Everyone should be able to ask for a hand and not one person deserves a hand-out.

First mistake in thought.

Comparing your children's lives with rich children's lives.

If you want your child to have a rich child's life. You have every right to go and work for it.

I've had 2 and sometimes 3 jobs, while my husband has done the same. If you want something work for it. You'll have something called self-pride.

The only thing a tutor does is reinforce the curriculum. Rich people just get to pay someone else to do that for them.

If your child isn't the brightest bulb in the bunch, be a parent and help them learn.

BTW, while working 2 jobs, one at night and the other once a week, I got the wonderful experience of still being a stay at home mom.

It wasn't until a couple of years ago, my 2 oldest children realized that I was working the whole time they were little.

Work has never turned anyone into a wealthy man.

Prostitution on the other hand is a very well paying profession.Most the time women dont know how to handle money thus they get on crack , and never become wealthy.

Because we all know a pussy is like a punching bag , and isn't attached to morals.

Re: Tennessee proposes welfare reform?
Horrible idea. We need to make it less lucrative to keep dropping babies. As it is now the more kids you have the more money the government gives you. We need to only allow up to 2 on welfare per mother. Having more children should lead to a reduction in benefits. You want to see more women using birth control that would do it.

I say we make free birthing clinics....in africa. It might be cheaper on tax payers. Sure, the whole thing is free....its the getting back that will cost ya.

Dried up Hag, NGO is Non-Government Organisation, a nonprofit or a charity org.

I didn't mean to laugh, but your "frosting experience" was priceless. If there was confectioners sugar and butter or margarine in the commodities box...well there's the frosting!

Sigh, this does tie in to education. Home Economics courses would have provided the woman with basic skill sets. She would have learned how to prepare a cake from flour, sugar, butter, eggs at least.

The saddest thing is, many people on welfare are not "stupid". They know exactly what they are doing and glorify themselves as deserving, castigating & denigrating the people who support them.
 Quoting: sTTsTTT


Oh....NGO....sounds like what we call a CAP agency, here......Community Action Programs....nonprofit agencies....

Yeah....the icing story is a very telling one......And I agree that people who've abused these programs are very savvy indeed....

Re: Tennessee proposes welfare reform?

"A Tennessee lawmaker is pushing a controversial new bill that would tie welfare benefits to students' performance in school."

I never received welfare and I hope I will never need it as my children are grown and I am retired.

These kind of lawmakers just boil my blood. Instead making it work they just do the opposite. Let us stop paying taxes and get rid of these politicians. Let them work for their living and pay for their own medical etc. They will learn quickly.

Re: Tennessee proposes welfare reform?
Here's some welfare reform for ya. You get $1 an hour to clean latrines, remove graffiti and plant gardens to clean up your POS neighborhoods.

Welfare roles would drop and our cities would clean up some. Any psycho-lib. who can't understand the merit of this should be deported to someplace more ideologically suitable to them, like North Korea.
 Quoting: SevenThunders


So you think earning 8-10 bucks a day cleaning up graffitti would lower the welfare doles? and you're little place in heaven for people who don't understand this is North Korea.....wow you don't think at all before you type do you

Re: Tennessee proposes welfare reform?
Well there should be some sort of improvement of life criteria to get welfare. As it stands now, the more you are a failure the more you get.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18681750


Agreed...drug test them too.
 Quoting: littlemiracles


If drug testing were to be required, then I, a Taxpaying citizen who does smoke pot, shall be able to refuse funding this program.

If I am getting taxed for a program that I can never use because I smoke the herb, then it would be taxation w/o representation to me, and that would be tyranny/illegal.

Besides, just to force an income from people and then turn around to say "you gotta take a drug test for that" makes it very unfair to us that have funded this shit for years, don't you think?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 32915728


ok , how about requiring social workers to do random home welfare checks.

With stiff requirements for the home , if you are on welfare.

Either way drug test or home welfare checks will be a requirement of the contract of being on welfare.

If you never make a deal with the state , because you want free shit , then you wont have to worry about either.

sry, no government workers allowed in my house....period

Re: Tennessee proposes welfare reform?
What if you were a white middle class intact family with a 12 year old who relocated from California and moved to TN due to a death in the family and am the primary caregiver of a 70 year old mother with Parkinson's Disease? My husband has NOT found a job because there is NOTHING that supports our family structure. So we had to go on Public Assistance just to eat and have insurance for our son. With our country laying off so many jobs, the pentagon going to lay off 46,000 workers and possibly downsizing the Army and the fiscal cliff, I d like to know where the good paying jobs are. I fear we are going to end up like Mexico, Cuba, or China.
