Time to load up on Visine spray? The Salt Lake Tribune reports (via Reason) :
People seeking unemployment benefits or welfare would have to first pass a drug test under a proposal Sen. Orrin Hatch will try to add to legislation extending the social safety net during this time of economic turmoil.
Hatch, R-Utah, said his idea would help battle drug addiction and could reduce the nation's debt. He will try to get the Senate to include his amendment to a $140 billion bill extending tax breaks and social programs this week.
Great idea...and while we're at it can we come up with a test to see which GOPers are closeted self-haters?
What? Why not?
It's spreading: "I'm gonna push to make sure that if someone fails a drug test in this state, that we are not gonna pay benefits," [Nikki] Haley said at a press conference outside the S.C Department of Employment and Workforce. "That's something I'm gonna push for, I think people of this state deserve that. Personal responsibility matters and we're gonna continue to fight that fight."
