Why don’t they take the people who receive government assistance and make them all take drug tests. If they fail a drug test they are banned from receiving any assistance.

I would like to issue a BIG Thank You to the government and the voters that vote for these crazy tax hikes you help me quit smoking.

It’s an investment that will expand and improve not just early learning programs but reward good teachers while replacing bad ones and put college or technical training within reach for anyone who wants it. ur success will also require freeing ourselves from the dangerous dependence on foreign oil by building a clean-energy economy because we know that with this will not only come greater security and a safer environment but new high-paying jobs of the future to replace those that we’ve lost. And our success will also require controlling spiraling health care costs that are bankrupting families and crushing businesses and driving up skyrocketing deficits. At the current course and speed these health care costs are unsustainable. And that’s why my budget takes a first big step towards comprehensive health care reform that will reduce costs improve care and ensure that everyone who works has coverage they can afford. This is what Americans’ success demands and this is what our budget will do. And I’m under no illusions that a better day will come about quickly or easily.
