All unempoyed people are drug addicts, so Orin Hatch says

As many of you know there are two bills sitting in limbo at the moment. One would free up money for small business expansion, the other would extend unemployment benefits.
Right now unemployed people get up to 99 weeks (that is a little over two years). I will admit that is a long time, but we are in an employment crisis right now. I guess there are VERY generous states out there. Most give benefits for six to nine months. It is important to note that the extension would go to those whose benefits are set to expire after only six months.
Whether you agree with extending benefits or not, you should never do what Sen. Orin Hatch of Utah did. Sen. Hatch made the claim that all persons needing unemployment benefits are drug addicts. In a short video Hatch said: "We can't give money to people who are just going to spend it on drugs". This comment was in response to the ongoing unemployment benefits debate.
Looking perhaps to protect his image Sen. Hatch is hiding comments like these in a bill that would require all welfare and unemployment recipients to be drug tested.
This might sound good, but think of the ramifications.
First the violation of privacy for millions of people. Guess what Hatch poor people are American too. You cannot suspend our rights to make yourself look better.
Second is cost, this measure would place a huge burden on the DWS.(Department of Workforce Services) Instead of helping families, families would be turned away so that these drug tests could be paid for. Lets say for the sake of argument that a drug screening costs $300, DWS is currently fielding one thousand applications for services a day. If each of these has to be drug screened that's $300,000 dollars. Plus testing for all of the people already receiving aid. If the goal of the Republican party is fiscal responsibility, Sen. Hatch should be ashamed of this proposal.
Here is a newsflash Republicans, poor people hate welfare fraud too. For every person that does not need assistance a family that does is denied. The problem is that usually those committing fraud, are doing so with the help of someone inside DWS. So when it comes time to balance the budget, these people are never audited, and the rest of us are.
I am so tired of being called a liar, a thief, a cheat, an addict. I am A hard worker who can't find work. I am a human being who deserves compassion. All poor people deserve to have access to the same constitutional protection as everyone else.
Don't just take my word for it read the article.
