".........Most people agree that there should be some form of an economic social safety net for those who’re in need. But there should also be standards set and enforced for those seeking benefits. Proving one isn’t on drugs is an obvious one. That so-called religious leaders are trying to thwart the implementation of Gov. Walker’s legislation is in my opinion a clear case of what low regard progressives (political or religious) have for the very people they claim to help. What these religious fakes are actually saying is that by simply being in an economic underclass- for however long- trumps one’s ability to resist the temptation of using drugs. In other words- they’re poor and can’t help it.
For progressives it’s always about class and never about the intrinsic value of the people in the varying economic classes they hold in contempt. So much for ‘justice.’"

Now this I like. I’d also like to see welfare reform that requires able bodied recipients to work for their checks. There are always jobs that are costing the taxpayers extra that they could fill. These benefits should also be transitional and limited, with the understanding that they are expected to become employed and self suffcient. As a part of their benefits there should be jobs training and jobs placement.
The first should be helped. The second should be cut off. The third should be imprisoned, working for their keep.
