I got an email of an article addressing this issue, and I thought it was fantastic. How many of us go to jobs that require random drug testing? A great portion of our taxes go to food stamps and welfare cash for people who DON'T have to take random drug tests. Usually (not always, but usually) those are the people who have drug and alcohol problems that they use their welfare check to keep funding! Those people don't work because they would rather do drugs, and nobody stops them. Think of how much money our society would save if those people all had to be drug tested to keep getting their checks. What does everyone think of this?!

Over the last 6 years, under the leadership of the Republicans, federal spending has doubled. It looks like the Democrats aren't interested in reversing this trend either.

What can we do to stop this madness?

I'm sure some of you may have seen a topic recently posted...I really think this guy-(not naming names)-needs to find a hobby.

"Clinton = peace and prosperity, Bush = war and recession
Clinton = admired around the world, Bush = universally detested
Clinton = genius, Bush = imbecile
Clinton = workaholic, Bush = vacationer
Clinton = balanced budget, Bush = $2.5 trillion added to national debt and counting
Clinton = Rhodes Scholar, Bush = male cheerleader
Clinton = 1st in his class, Bush = My Pet Goat
Clinton = gas at $1.15/gal, Bush = gas at $3.18/gal
Clinton = all indicators of national health up, Bush = everything he touches turns to crap
Clinton = big man who accepts responsibility, Bush = weasel who plays blame game
Clinton = higher standard of living, Bush = tremendous step backwards for America "

This guy worships clinton like he's god and claims clinton had success when all clinton did was play golf, ignore terrorism, and cheat on his wife.
What a kool-aid drinker

Nagin and Blanco are worthless. they did nothing toward planning for disastors that they knew were a possibility. Failed to act during. and still got reelected.

Now they hired New Yorks Ex police chief that was fired for ineffectiveness that went to houston and was ran out literaly on a rail (browns toy train set in downtown) for being the worst mayer in Houstons history to be their police chief.. he wasnt called the dread pirate mayer in houston for nothing.
