Conservatives Blow Off the Constitution to Degrade Poor People

4. I just see it from a different angle.

I can tell you that there really are street people who are street people because of mental health issues, who when they receive proper treatment could be holding down jobs and all the rest. I assume the same is true with addictions. So in that sense, detecting diseases for treatment along with providing assistance makes sense. This of course has little to nothing to do with what's being argued here though, what I am hearing here is people talking about kicking the "loser druggies" off welfare, without looking at drug addiction as something to be treated. I'm also hearing the idea that welfare people are generally drugs addicts, which the facts don't bear out either.
