If I was Dictator, Welfare types would eat in a cafeteria, and get issued clothing. If you want the public to pay for your survival. . . that’s what you get. Survival shelter, food, and clothing. . .

Just as long as someone pays for their housing, iPhone, cable TV, and cigarettes.

Since Minnesota is being taken over by Mudslimes and their drug of choice is tobacco, it will probably be deemed racist to ban smoking in public housing.

From the article...5 percent reported that they had quit.

That's a good thing.

My understanding is that science has proven that second hand smoke can be quite harmful - if you are a cat.


Then it’s okay to blow smoke in a baby’s face, I guess.

My problem is with Public Housing period.

But, if you take the King’s Coin, you do the King’s Bidding.

I doubt any lives are being saved. Here is my question: If these welfare clowns are spending a minimum of $5 a day per pack of cigarettes (x 30 days is $150.00) why are they in subsidized housing in the first place?

If they don't like it, they can get on their obamaphone and call a taxpayer that gives a $h!t.

Obnoxious? Yes. Stupid? Yes. Deadly? No.

Also, babies usually aren’t “shotgunned” by anyone except dips%^#s. Parents smoked around babies since the 1960s, and if the babies were anything like me, they didn’t have lung trouble or a desire to smoke when they grew up.

That’s not what I was talking about. I would consider that to be rude and hurtful, but I don’t consider it a second hand smoke issue, unless you do it daily or hourly.

How do they verify that people aren’t sneaking a cig now and again?

Good for you!

We are in Montana and she has been here for more than 20 years. Her sisters and their husbands in Minnehoota land are lost causes...

Best to you!
