No one publicly announced that the government had to assistance i.e food stamps. Now, it aint no big thing Too many times we mixed rights with priviledges. Assistance is not a right. It has and will always come with conditions. If one does not like the conditions, do not accept the priviledge. Do for self. Until that time, you do what you must do.

Assistance is not a right.
It has and will always come with conditions.

"It's unfair for hard-working Americans who are already hurting to contribute to some n****a's drug habit." It's all BS & of course it's another way to hurt black people; and in my opinion, it's a way to further distress & stunt the growth of blacks. The government knows (has known) for years that people misuse the funds they receive in government assistance. This isn't anything "enlightening" to them! The point is that while people do misuse the money they receive, that same money goes towards feeding the children that also reside in that household. That money, though mismanaged, is the difference between a family having heat & utilities thru the winter or kids "roughing" it night after night with no heat, hot water or electricity that have become the bare necessities of our society. These should not be "luxuries" but the basic needs met for every family w/children. And most welfare recipients are single black women w/children. How is a child to grow & thrive in an environment where he's cold, hungry and miserable night after night? Yeah, misuse of taxpayer money is an evil, but it's an even greater evil not to issue out these funds to the families with children who need them! (AND WE WON'T EVEN TOUCH ON THE GOVERNMENT'S MISUSE OF TAXPAYERS $$$$$!!! HYPOCRITICAL BASTARDS!!!)

Great for them, Yes do random drug testing, Because so many people trade food stamps for drugs. The care they get should be used to help feed the family not get high on. Thats taking our hard earned money and using it to drugs. So YES to Random testing !! Thats good !! Great for them, Yes do random drug testing, Because so many people trade food stamps for drugs.

Why should anyone feel like "damn their gonna start drug testing us" if they are spending the money properly. I know no one wants other people keeping tabs on what they do, but you have to realize where that money is coming from. For years people have been getting away with this and that is why things have come to this. Honestly when something like this is left unattended, there is always someone there that say's hmmmm.." I wonder if the welfare recipients are spending the money in a respectful manner"? This is a step towards rehabilitation for those in need of it, well that's the way I see it.

I'm pretty sure there are people who abuse this money but why now is it a problem, have they done a probe on where welfare money is and what particular race it's being distributed to maybe more so thatn others? Those are things to think about. What they need to do is offer more training programs for people to go to work, it's not that easy to transition and it seems they are more willing to take away and complicate than to really find a workable solution. Good topic Guys.
