OMG! These LefTards make me laugh so hard! For, what? 40+ YEARS they've not given We The People of Wisconsin the FAINTEST of 'details' on how they redistribute our wealth!

ACTING LIKE A PREZ...!!
Me too. The general trend has been to loosen laws or enforcement upon the users of illegal drugs, while making it tougher on those who need and acquire their drugs legally.
I like it, but I’d also like to see drug-testing for Congress and government employees as well. They also get paid on the public dime
Isn’t it amazing how ‘common sense’ is portrayed as ‘extremism’ these days?
Love My Gov! :)
BUMP!
Good but why do you think the left encourages people to live irresponsible lives? so they will become dependent on the government to live.

I know, whenever they plot to redistribute more from the makers to the takers, it’s an endless pot of gold at the end of a rainbow.
Nope it’s legal. It just passed in MI too.
Nothing blows a state budget quicker than a bunch of food stamp beneficiaries with the munchies.
Safety issues exist with the employment.
Walker’s right on this...
Has it been by the Federal courts? The problem is Uncle Sam’s finger in the program. He can attach whatever strings he wants. To opt out of the Federal bennies might be the only way a state could go on its own.
It was tried, I believe, in Florida and they calculated that it was not saving as much as it cost. One could make moral arguments for it, but probably not economic ones (the same goes for restricting SNAP to a tiny list of foods).
Because the Constitution protects us from illegal search from the government, not from private industry. The government still needs probably cause, hence the reason why some states rely on screening of some sort before deciding who to drug test.
A judge struck down the Florida plan which is just like the Michigan plan. I don't think the Michigan plan will survive either.
Because the Federal government has a vested interest in keeping people on welfare.
The Fla law didn’t offer treatment before kicking them off.
It also was required without probable cause. In MI the law will require testing of those suspected of drug use.
Only those that refuse treatment are kicked off.
The Fla law also let them know far in advance when they would be tested. That is why they didn’t catch many.
In MI if they are ‘suspected’ of drug use they will go right then to be tested, just like employers do it.
Which is why it will shortly become an economic question
Start with Congress.
Like the legal drug alcohol?
Sure, why shouldn’t alcoholics be excluded from living off the dole?
Might be an incentive to get clean.
