Support for laws like this poll very well, and yet you can bet your last dollar Obama will have the DOJ sue if the bill becomes law.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A contentious bill to screen welfare recipients for drug abuse and limit residents to buy only “nutritional” foods with food stamps is moving forward.

State representatives voted 71-22 in favor of the bill Tuesday.

The bill would require residents who receive money from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families to take a questionnaire screening for substance abuse and possibly face drug testing.

The bill also would restrict what can be bought through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps. Recipients only would be able to purchase foods deemed “nutritional” by the state, which state Rep. Jud McMillin of Brookville says likely would prohibit using benefits to buy candy and soda.

I believe it was FL that did/does this.

Waste of money. COLOSSAL waste of money.

Yeah I would just cut all of the programs. Pay your own way, pay your own bills. We encourage
bad behavior.

LOL, never mind...they ask questions on a flyer...i guess if you check the box that says "yes, I use crack" they might drug test you.

Still, bet it goes to court.

Hell why even get a job anymore? Get free stuff.

So Moochelle can preach living a healthy lifestyle but her own liberal politicians won't support her?

Personal responsibility is not something the libs can stomach. A crack head on welfare munching twinkies is a perfect voter for them.

And that was Barry's first job out of college in Chicago. Getting them enrolled, voter fraud, etc.

I want to read this questionnaire...

"Do you smoke Marijuana?"

"Do you toke the reefer"

"Sample the Ganja"

"Smoke doobies"

"Roll Js"

"Do you know the difference between 1.5 and 1.0 papers"

lol

I kinda like State U, but U of whatever is OK. Baskerville Holmes is the best name ever. Sad story though, same deal with the other guy
who was murdered.

Indiana welfare recipients on drugs...that explains the haunted house story.

Yeah, good player.

I'm sure it will be overturned. With that said, there should be SOME requirements put on those that accept free stuff supplied by the government. Human nature being what it is, the requirements for getting free stuff should be geared to "encouraging getting off the dole". It should be "ok, here's your free stuff - you can have it as soon as you do these things" - "don't want to do these things - sorry, no free stuff". Instead, we say, here's your free food, here's your free housing, here's your free phone, etc, etc. and then throw our hands in the air at the cost of government.

You hit the nail on the head. The lowlife loser welfare system here is insane. Everytime someone tries to do something about, the leaches threaten riots and death, how nice is that.

I see this one getting overturned:

1) Recipients only would be able to purchase foods deemed “nutritional” by the state

That's a bad road to go down...

2) Take a questionnaire screening for substance abuse and possibly face drug testing.

Possibly? So it's "not set in stone"? So how do they decide who faces drug testing and who doesn't?

It's unconstitutional.
