Georgia passes drug testing for welfare bill...

[bu villain]

Because as of right now, drugs are illegal, other bad choices are not. I have said previously that anyone convicted of a felony should be barred from any welfare program for a minimum of 10 years.

But drug possession is usually only a misdemeanor so why not ban anyone with ANY misdemeanor from getting welfare? Why are should drug misdemeanors be treated differently?

They are. They take from their host, but give nothing in return.

Except that pretty much everybody on welfare does contribute something. They pay sales taxes, gas taxes, and often even income tax either before they get on welfare or afterwards. Many of them have jobs so they are contributing in that way, including fica, SS, medicare taxes. Additionally the unemployed may contribute in a great number of other ways. For example, I know there are elderly on welfare who take care of their grandkids so their parents can work. To say all welfare recepients are parasites to society is simply not true.

And I already addressed my way of handling it.

Yes you did. I was just saying that what happens to children is a valid concern that can't be ignored.
