At the same time, there was no or minimal coverage of policies that send billions of government dollars to corporate interests from oil companies to agribusiness to firms producing arms. We need to stop the welfare for the very rich before you start cutting out the very little money that people receive on welfare. They are not the ones getting the free and easy ride, some of these very rich get more money off the government in tax cuts in one week than some get their entire life. But no one says a thing about that, we tuck our tail between our legs and go and attach people that have no power and barely enough to eat. Very sad indeed.
"The real difficulty is with the vast wealth and power in the hands of the few....It is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people no longer. It is a government of corporations, by corporations, and for corporations."
First of all, I don't agree with our government sending money to corporation, organizations, or anything else you can come up with. One of the only exceptions being our military.

Although I don't condone handouts to big corporation, they at least provide something to our society. What does that Sulleman bitch and her kind contribute to society other than 10 minutes of entertainment?

I don't think the government should spend money on anything other than things that are beneficial to the majority of the population. If you disagree with that you need to support Libertarianism. You can't make everyone happy in a country of this size, which is why states need to be responsible for all things not granted to the federal government via the Constitution.
JaggedEdge Reviewed by JaggedEdge on . States Consider Drug Tests for Welfare Recipients Agree or disagree? Personally I think they should test for everything including weed and if you test positive, revoke the benefits. The way I see it, if you are collecting tax payer money to live, you can't afford $25-100 a quarter. The only exception being if you live in a state that has legalized medical use and have a prescription. Drugs are a luxury and should be used by those who can afford them. From FoxNews.com: Rating: 5
