Just last month dweebie Florida Governor Rick Scott implemented a plan. First, he would make sure that all of the Welfare recipients were clean and sober. Scott knows that ‘those people’ take more drugs than anyone, his goal was to ‘keep people off of drugs,’ and more specifically bounce as many as possible from the welfare roster. Whether he actually believes it is anyone’s guess, but he claims that they’re bankrupting the state by lying around and popping pills. Mind, there is no rehabilitation if one is caught. So far, that hasn’t been a problem.
In the six weeks of his program the poor have pulled the rug from under his theory. Of the 40 families in the initial program, only two individuals were caught and one had a prescription for medication! There is no rehab program, so if someone failed they would be pushed out of state aid.
Keep in mind he is from the party of ‘smaller government’ where no one utters the words ‘corporate welfare’ which is where the money really goes, and their intrusions into the personal life of citizens gets more outlandish with each passing day.
It takes a lot of money to run this program, and in full swing we’re looking at anywhere from 60-100 thousand applying. If 95% pass if will cost the state approximately $2-4 million, and that is not counting the cost of the offices and people hired to do the pee checking. Isn’t it time politicians hopped on another pony to ride, the white horse and his stable mates just aren’t that large of a threat.
RJ ADDS – So if you are out of a job, about to be thrown out of your house, with no hope for much of anything at all, if you smoke a doobie to relieve a little of the pain. Rick Scott will starve you to death. Sounds like a good Republican, nothing the matter that!
