Discuss.Put Me In Charge
Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese, and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza ..... get a job.
Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings .... get a job.
Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your “home” will be subject to inspections anytime, and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360 .... get a job and your own place.
In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job. It may be cleaning the roadways of trash, painting and repairing public housing, whatever we find for you. We will sell your 22 inch rims and low profile tires and your blasting stereo and speakers and put that money toward the “common good.”
Before you write that I’ve violated someone’s rights, realize that all of the above is voluntary. If you want our money, accept our rules.. Before you say this would be “demeaning” and ruin their “self esteem,” consider that it wasn’t that long ago when taking someone else’s money for doing absolutely nothing was demeaning and lowered self esteem.
If we are expected to pay for other people’s mistakes we should at least attempt to make them learn from their bad choices. The current system rewards them for continuing to make bad choices.

since i know i'll just get a bunch of bs from you little twats, here's an actual response
Same if you want fruits, vegetables, or anything else with actual nutritional value that's necessary for your continued living without massive health problems. My pleas to bring back scurvy are finally being listened to!Put me in charge of food stamps. I’d get rid of Lone Star cards; no cash for Ding Dongs or Ho Ho’s, just money for 50-pound bags of rice and beans, blocks of cheese, and all the powdered milk you can haul away. If you want steak and frozen pizza ..... get a job.
Yeah, if you're going to be given any health care support at all, you should definitely be forced to sign all rights to what you put in/on your body over to the government! If they would rather die, they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I’d do is to get women Norplant birth control implants or tubal ligations. Then we’ll test recipients for drugs, alcohol, and nicotine and document all tattoos and piercings. If you want to reproduce or use drugs, alcohol, smoke or get tats and piercings .... get a job.
Indeed, you should be subject to routine invasions of your privacy as much as possible. It's what our country is built on nowadays!Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks? You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your “home” will be subject to inspections anytime, and possessions will be inventoried. If you want a plasma TV or Xbox 360 .... get a job and your own place.
Have fun with slavery!In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or you will report to a “government” job.

Hmmm.... Let's try acting like adults and discussing a solution to this problem in a civilized manner, instead of re-hashing out the same old, worn-out, boring conservative-vs-liberal bashing that goes on every time somebody starts a thread even remotely to do with your precious donkeys and elephants.

I love how conservatives rail about "socialism" and "communism" and the gubment getting in our business, and then propose things like this, which are essentially state run society, while maintaining ignorance of what socialism and communism actually are. Furthermore, this entire thing is just riddled with a fundamental misunderstanding of the following, poverty, economics, personal freedom, basic human agency.
I could go on and on but I'm not particularly interested in opening a discourse with anyone who thinks any part of the OP is defensible in anyway, so I'll just leave it at this. Anyone who supports this can make themselves look stupid by throwing ill-conceived syllogistic fallacies at what I've just said if they like. I'm just going to sit here giggling at you.tout comprendre c'est tout pardonner- Thestatusquo

Sometimes civil discourse isn't the answer. When someone proposes something so ridiculous, so damaging, so racist, classist, and ignorant. The only proper response to such statements is explicit aggression. Anything else implies that such positions are worthy of discussion, and legitimizes them in a manner that they are not worthy of. If someone proposed, as JD suggested, that we ought to heat our tennements by "throwing another fag on the fire" ought we engage that as if it a legitimate idea? It seems to me that the only proper response to that sort of statement, is "no, you're a moron." Same with a statement such as "all poor people are lazy" or "Blacks deserve less rights than whites." If we were to engage these as if they were legitimate solutions or truth, it raises them to the level of acceptable discourse. They are not.Hmmm.... Let's try acting like adults and discussing a solution to this problem in a civilized manner, instead of re-hashing out the same old, worn-out, boring conservative-vs-liberal bashing that goes on every time somebody starts a thread even remotely to do with your precious donkeys and elephants. I'm looking at you, jdodge.
What you proposed was so ignorant of the basic realities of being a member of the working poor in this country, the basic realities of what it means to live in a free society, the basic realities of economic distribution of wealth, unemployment, globalization, etc, the basic realities of human decency, the basic realities of equality, that to give it more than a complete and utter rejection of face is doing discourse itself a disservice. Just because you can't defeat arguments that mention the conservatism of the position does not create magically arguments that counteract them simply by just mentioning the fact that they did so. You can accuse us of having dualistic fantasies all you want, but in the end your view point is conservative, ignorant, and dangerous, and will be treated as such. Please go away.

6 million people on unemployment
