Urine Test

[louixo]

Like a lot of folks , I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem.

What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them??

Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sitting on their butt, doing drugs, while I work... Can you imagine how much money the government would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check ?????

Common sense from the government, politicians and tree huggers? Desirable but not likely.

"Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet."

Please understand only 30% of aid recipients nation wide ever go back to meaningful employment to the point they actually contribute back into the system.

Please understand that out of every dollar that actually belongs to us, the aid recipients only receive 47¢. The rest is taken from a combination of administration cost and debt payments.

Please understand since the expansion of the welfare system and social security, the system has cost us in the trillions and has force the national debt payoffs measured in decades not years, with indicators now at the century marks.

Please understand that the constitution does not provide for a socialized support system, nor does it provide any means for social security and the supreme court has recently ruled that just because we put into the system, does not mean we have a right to our money that we put into the system.

Please understand that our federal reserve system carries some of the debt of Social Security and welfare in the form of bonds that it pays itself interest from these bonds.

Please understand as far as the national debt is concern, we have a perpetuity unfunded obligation for social programs sitting at the tune of $49.6 trillion, with Medicare accounting for more than three-fourths. This means that we carry Social Security and welfare on our backs at the rate of 28.4 percent of our GDP. And only a small percentage of this is carried by bond vehicles the rest is carried as open obligations as part of our overall national debt.

Please understand that the Medicare prescription drug benefit can add to the overall debt something like $6.5 trillion dollars because of the lack of proper negotiations with the drug companies when the bill was in congress. This will lead us to a bigger debt load overall and surpass the percentage Medicare’s debt within 20 years.

Please understand the actual cost of Social Security for seniors is about $181,987.

And lastly.......

Please understand that if we move to any socialize health care system, the overall perpetuity unfunded obligations for that system will alone exceed the 50% of the GDP within the first 20 years of its existence.
