In the last few days, congress passed their "jobs bill" that they touted as the recipe for fixing our economy and to attempt to reverse the idea that they are the party of DO NOTHING. John Boehner was all over the media talking about his wonderful bill and how it was great for americans... or IS IT???
What Boehner didnt say, or Eric Cantor for that matter, is a little provision contained in the bill that gave the power to the states to DRUG TEST all applicants for UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE even through no fault of their own.
In other words, lets say you got layed off from UPS after 15 years, you did nothing wrong to deserve the layoff and you go to the unemployment office, BEFORE you can even apply for the insurance, you have to take a DRUG TEST and prove to the state that you are NOT on drugs!
Thats right, even if you did nothing wrong to lose your job, the GOP wants to treat you like a criminal!!! What I cant believe is all the talk about getting goverment out of our lives and around every corner, the GOP is INVADING peoples privacies!!
Are americans willing to lose their right to privacy for the GOP?
We pay into unemployment by force and have no way to opt out of it, and when we need to get "our own" money back, there SHOULD BE no STRINGS attached!
But thats not what the GOP believes! ITS THEIR MONEY! and you better be drug free if you want to get your own money back from them by allowing them to violate your right to privacy!
The right wing kooks in arizona just took it up a notch, by passing a bill in the AZ senate authorizing drug testing for unemployment insurance and the ink isnt even dry yet!
Drug Tests For Jobless Advance In Arizona, First State To Move After Congress' Green Light
Right after they blow it by starting a war with women in this country, now they want to go to war with the unemployed???
How hard does the GOP have to try to lose the election? Why are the GOP faithful so gulible for this kind of goverment intrusion?
Do ahead, defend this bill.
Peace
