Hmmm...Irony....Not sure that's the term...

Convicted criminals (felony, misdemeanor, on probation or paroled) who "get it"; meaning those with a real desire to rejoin society w/o criminal activity, who get clean & sober, CANNOT GET JOBS.

Just try & get hired right out of jail in any job that handles money, deals with kids, or in California, who whats to work in a drug treatment program. You can't do it. (Most require being free of probation/parole at least 1 year)

Yet this class of criminal is being handed the silver platter.

Nope. Irony doesn't even come close...

I thought about this very thing this morning as I was listening to talk radio discussing Hilary's advocating for felons having voting rights.

She's a couple steps ahead here.
