Scott Walker Begs Trump To Let Him Drug Test Food Stamp Recipients

Republican Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker wants the power to drug test food stamp recipients, but the only way he can get that is with a presidential order, so he’s groveling to Trump to give him the authority to put his braindead plan into action. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

"escape" from their miserable existence.

Drugs should only be taken by rich wall street folks while coming up with new ways to steal all of our money. Tropical islands should be reserved for them as well, the rest of us need to just keep our heads down, do all the work, and just shut the fuck up.

I'm trying really, really hard not to hate people but... stuff like this is not making it easy. How about offering free mental health services and drug rehab if you believe that population is abusing drugs?

is of course unconstitutional, not that most on the right respect the Constitution.

Such programs also end up costing more than they save.

Come on people your slipping, this is a republican who fully believes in the "free market" as long as he is connected and gets some of the money. (http://politics.heraldtribune.com/2011/11/02/scotts-former-health-care-company-decides-to-move-its-headquarters-out-of-the-state)Walker is connected to the Solantic company after all it was his company, and I'm sure he still holds a lot of stock in it. Can you say DICK Chaney and halliburton, these a$$es will do anything to line their pockets, including killing Americans (Afghanistan, Iraq and soon Iran)...
