SiG Lady Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 If we don't 'start' somewhere, the already-needless spending will just get worse. Welfare hogs are one of my pet peeves. Better to try an ruthlessly weed them out somehow. And what if a recipient is a drug-user but HASN'T been convicted (yet)?? Until they're busted or tested, the agency dispensing their benefits will just never know...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A recent study showed a large number of people convicted of a drug crime still getting benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadyinBlue Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check, because I have to pass one to earn it for them? That's a great idea but who would enforce it? Laws only seem to apply to law-abiding citizens not the dirt-bag low-lifes you're referring to. ~Nanci~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillM Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 God, I'm putting that on the bumper of my car!!! One of the biggest pains in THIS community is the City of Eugene Planning Department... and wrenching your building permit from their cold, stupid hands. Sometimes takes a full year. Not kidding. It's insane. Hey Sig Lady, I just drove through Eugene yesterday morning at 6 a.m. and saw a great sign on a gun shop/shooting range on the east side of I-5 just south of town that said something like "Shoot a Real Tommy Gun Here". Too early to stop, but I thought this town can't be ALL bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiG Lady Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 Yeh, that's The Baron's Den--the place where I've been shooting for about 6 years or so. Great place! The Tommy Gun shoot thing is quite profitable. Not only local people indulge in a couple of magsful now and then, but as we ARE are Interstate-5 we see a lot of folks on-the-road from California and other places who just stop in, sign the waiver, pay their bucks, blast away, and leave happy. It's a supervised shoot so no one screws up. Everyone has fun. It's often a family thing, too. Again, it's been a profitable thing for the range. Several thousand $$$ a year, at least.
