Except when I drink a beer I don't give someone else in the same room of me a 'contact drunk'.Pot is less harmful than beer. I'm sick of uptight conservatives keeping the racist prohibition alive.

Pot combines all the worst aspects of beer AND smoking in one easy package.
Although I say this. End the war on drugs and let the states decide AS THEY SHOULD, so you potheads can move to California or wherever else legalizes that shit, and I can keep far away.
Moron. You've never lived in a welfare clogged major metropolitan area have you where you see young men sitting on street corners or circling the blocks doing nothing except selling drugs to other welfare recipiants to supplement their gubmint checks, have you?Sen. Hatch wants unemployed to face mandatory drug tests - The Hill
Hey Orrin, why not just use ankle monitors?
WHO will pay for this expensive 'program'? Fiscal conservatism is just a code word. It is all about trying to turn democracy into an aristocracy. Hatch's 'program' would help to perpetuate the perception that there's "a two-class system where if you're unemployed, you no longer have the same rights as other people. It kind of criminalizes being jobless, just like over the past 20 years or so we've criminalized being homeless. That seems to be the answer for a lot of Republicans; just go ahead and go to war on the problem instead of dealing with it in a more human way."
See the only reason that someone doesn't have a job in this thriving economy is because they are drug addicts. Hatch is just trying to help.
What with David Walker's wistful call for a return to debtor's prison and this hideous attack on the unemployed it's evident that the fatuous elites in this country are so out of touch that they really have no idea how obscene their aristocratic braying sounds to average Americans. or perhaps they do, and just don't care. If your point is to pretend that 10% official unemployment is simply a reflection of the bad character of the unemployed so you can protect the wealth of the ruling class, then turning every unemployed person into a suspected criminal and potential drug user makes sense.

I don't agree with THIS. If you are collecting UE isnurance that's money you paid in. I am however pro drug testing welfare fags.
You don't pay into unemployment insurance, your employer does.
Each state pays its unemployed workers from the pool of unemployment taxes it collected from employers, based on their number of employees and their turnover history. The formulae is different for each state. According to the Related Links below the state collects payroll taxes from employers, based on their turnover rate. This became a law under the Federal Social Security Act and is administered by the individual states. The only time employers pay employees directly is when the employer has an agreement to do so by the state that collects the taxes from them, in order to opt out of paying the tax. The employer does not receive a bill for payments made, but the state does adjust his tax rate based on his turn over experience. The taxes collected pays for both operational costs as well as benefit payments.
In Texas, Your employer ultimately pays 100% of any unemployment benefits you receive.
The state issues your the check from its account, So in that since it appears that the state pays you the benefit check, But then they bill the employer for the amount of those disbursements. So in actuality, the employer is still paying it. In Fact,, Unemployment commission employees here will not even call it "Unemployment Insurance" because it is in effect not insurance in the way it is handled here, They use the term "Unemployment Compensation" instead, or at least when talking to the employer.

Oh good grief. any logical person could ascertain that UE insurance is part of your compensation package and therefor YOU pay it. Might as well say that if your employer offers company paid insurance then then that means they pay for your insurance, not you.
We test many people who work for the public, Police, Firemen, Military personnel, to name a few. And I for one have no problem with that. I also agree that welfare recipients should be drug tested. But unemployed.....I can't see that one.
My problem with testing Welfare recipients is the same as testing the unemployed. More expenses that will be charged to our great great grandchildren.
When are we going to realize that we have to stop spending as if money comes out of a faucet?
Immie
Immie, from my experiences I can make a pretty good guess that 1/3 of welfare scum would fail to qualify for welfare if tested for drugs. I drug test is a hell of a lot cheaper than welfare.

I'm sorry, but can you please explain to us how being anti-drug use is racist?
You might be that unread. Racist started the prohibition of cannabis in the 1930 saying mexicans and blacks would rape white woman if allowed to smoke pot. Mostly brown and black people are jailed for use while most users are white.

Um, in case you need to catch up, it is 2010. We have changed greatly since 1930.
And lets see some actual stats on who is jailed and why. And please remember I have Mexican, Puerto Ricans, and blacks in my immediate family.

You do not pay for your own unemployment compensation - your employer does. You pay state and federal tax, which has nothing to do with the above. You're simply receiving funds from an account your previous employer paid in to. It is not called unemployment insurance - it's called compensation. You re not automatically entitled to it upon your dismissal from work - if it were yours, and your fund, you would be.

Welfare and unemployment beneficiaries would have to pass a drug test to qualify for programs under an amendment offered Tuesday by Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah).
Sen. Hatch wants unemployed to face mandatory drug tests - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room
Welfare absolutely . unemployment not so much.
What is your solution?
I recall when the 'compassionate conservatives'
The FACTS are most juvenile crime occurs between school recess and when parents get home from work. Police Chiefs from around the country came to Washington to lobby Congressman and Senators...their message: what you call 'midnight basketball' is the best way to make police work easier.
You right wing scum bags NEVER have solutions, just a whole set of punishments...that ultimately cost the taxpayers MORE and society always suffers. You reduce the value of a human life to a $500 check...
You cocksuckers are going to have a tough time explaining yourselves to St Peter...I pity you.
Only an unread moron thinks more whites than minorities are arrested for pot. Yes it's 2010 and the racist inspired law is still on the books gunny Nazi.
