Unhinged and Unbroken

Recently a friend of mine posted a link on facebook concerning the governor of Florida signing into law that all those who receive welfare will have to take a drug test. He is against the action feeling it is constitutionally questionably and overly costly.

I read the comments and felt the need to add my two cents. I would have to say I support it and posted the following comment:

“I am just a mean person. Drug test them, require women to be on birth control, disqualify any who has more kids once enrolled, implement mandatory job training, require proof of active job search and limit it to no more than 3 – 5 years.

I have worked since the age of 15 and my taxes are used to support these programs. Why should generations of families be allowed a free ride like this? Make it so only those who are looking for assistance in a time of need receive the benefits.

This message courtesy of living in a state heavily on welfare and a mother who works for DES and tells the stories of the blatant abuse running rampant in the system.”

It took me over two hours to go from one end of the desk to the other removing material that has collected over the last couple of years.

So Arizona has passed some laws recently and I just wanted to take a moment to comment on some of them. However I do feel the need to pre-face this with some other information.

I am a registered democrat. I am not of the love everyone, give out free things and let everyone do what they want breed of democrat though. I have some very republican based ideals and then I have some very liberal based ideals. I like to think that I am a good balance between both.

So I have a semi-unique relationship with my parents. I was a difficult child to deal with (I am pretty sure I had ADD or ADHD) and it was a constant battle with me to try to get me to do right. I ditched school, I was destructive and even at my best I was a pain in the ass. At the age of 15 I dropped out of school and my parents, in an effort to force me back into school, kicked me out with the admonishment that if I was out of school I was out of their house.
