Arizona Common Sense
On Tuesday, the Department of Economic Security began requiring urine tests for adult welfare recipients whom officials had "reasonable cause" to believe were illegally using drugs.
The tests are mandated by a new state law that prevents DES from giving cash assistance to adults who test positive for illegal-drug use. Officials believe the bill, which the Legislature passed during its third special session, could save the state $1.7 million a year in cash assistance.
It might save $1.7 million a year? Anyone have the rate of drug usage in Chicago? Because we imagine testing here could save $1.7 million A DAY.

OT...but why is IAD parked in the 011th District parking garage, on the top level, taking pictures of cars entering and exiting across the street in the area 4 garage and the area 4 offices?
The best state in the country. We could learn a few things from them.
It's a Catch-22. $$$$ will be saved, but certainly, CHILDREN will suffer and some may die. But while they are at it, they should also require ALL welfare recipients to attend parenting classes before they collect their 1st check. Perhaps they could head off some shaken baby deaths and child neglect and/or child endangerment cases!
Best idea ever! Give us 10% of the money they save for our raises and we'll all be rich!!!!! I'll even volunteer to collect the piss!
NO MORE FREE HANDOUTS!!! it is deteriorating our country. time to deny these freeloaders once and for all! imagine how productive we coule be as a country if EVERYONE could contribute!! me and my ancestors didn't fight for this bullshit. enough is ENOUGH!!!!!!!!!
Speaking of Arizona...
It appears that Sheriff Joe is being nudged by the Republicans out there to run for Governor. He has publicly stated he is considering it.
Perhaps another option for him to consider would be to come to Chicago? I think he would be welcomed by the honest people around here to run for Mayor, County Board President, or even Governor.
He runs a jail out there and knows how to fill it up and run it right.
A man of conviction that is no-nonsense.
If he comes here, we have a bunch of crooked politicos and their hacks... he can start with them.
What the Feds can't do... maybe Sheriff Joe can!
Now talk about a bull in a china shop... He is just what we need around here to clean things up.
Just imagine (fill-in-the-blank) wearing his standard issue pink...
great idea ! they should also get rid of temp plates. those are worthless !
I'll be moving to Arizona ASAP
If I have to take random drug tests to keep my job with the city the people getting all the freebies should have to take one too!!
freeloading is an right of passage here. maybe one day the bullshitters for life will have to be accountable. funny, you have people here that cant finish 3rd grade ..but know every scam ever invented.
How about aldermen? Why don't they get randomly tested like we do? They carry guns like we do.
SCC I think you should have said 1.7 billion a day. I have never been to the jets or the ghetto and not smelled burning cannabis,

You aren't the Police, or you're not paying attention. These parasites kill their kids everyday. Parenting classes? You're kidding. You can't teach common sense. YOU are killing kids by keeping this insane give away going.

Are you aware that they are registered and can be run for the owner's complete info on the radio or computer? If they are on the wrong car, the car is impounded.
You are worthless.

Where will all our cold hearted senseless killers come from then?
That's our chief export as a big city. Send them to China. Overpopulation solved.
Screw running for governor, Sheriff Joe should run for President of the United States.The liberals would have a heart attack.
"It's a Catch-22. $$$$ will be saved, but certainly, CHILDREN will suffer and some may die. "
Do you think the drug abusers are spending it on their children now?NO THEY'RE SPENDING IT ON DRUGS!! Its not a catch 22!! And kids will not die if you take drug abusers source of free income away to support their drug problem.

Oooooooooooooh! Busted! Too bad they don't have a SECOND CITY GARAGE website.
Entitlement. The American way.
100% in agreement. You get welfare, SSI checks.....no $$ until a drug test is done. I am sick of paying for people who are just out right lazy. Met a 4th generation on welfare the other day. This country best WAKE UP!

He's in Arizona! Why in the hell would he want to come to Chicago, with it's snow and the corruption and ghost voters and the Daley Crime Family and it's criminals who expect a piece of every government subsidy and contract???
If I were already a CELEBRATED Arizona lawman, Chicago would be the LAST place on my list to relocate, know what I mean?
Genius I say, Genius! Watch out for the likes of Obama, Pelosi, Reid and Jesse Jackson when this gets nationwide coverage! I smell an "injunction" somewhere!

You must be from Arizona, cuz it doesn't benefit us in the least.
How about taking it a few steps further...
All Section 8 Housing recipients
All Food Stamp recipients
All FREE Medical Insurance recipients
That is all, nothing to see here, move along
that law makes too much sense....
it will never happen here
Here is an idea......if you wish to go on welfare, you must be made sterile.

The children already suffer even though these $hitheads get welfare already. As for parenting classes, they already have years of experience in how to ignore school, there is no way a class would help. If anything the children would benefit because since the druggies would be denied income the children would be taken away quicker and placed in foster care. I know foster care isn't always the best but its better then living with drug users.
daley would never allow this, in his illegal havan sanctuary city! Why not have all the aldermorons take this also,if they are on drugs we could quickly get 25 removed! Most are on drugs from the way they talk,and the cowards they are!
I think they meant "$1.7 Billion" that's million with a "B"
That would be racist wouldn't it?
it's time to make them work for thier money. no more laying around all day doing nothing. they can clean up thier neigorhoods and parks.
Piss test the whole west and south sides...

Parenting classes are something that the lib-tards would love to impose. Just another way to indoctrinate youth into their leftist-communist paradigm, and another way to take control of the people.
good idea take away all welfare assistance from adults who test positive for drugs
take care of the children , provide them housing in a state run facility away from drug addicted parents
Obama and Holder will investigate the authorities in Arizona for violating the civil rights of those whose benefits are taken from them.
ACLU will also file lawsuits.
What and take away their only means of reducing daily stress in the hood. You've got to be kidding me, generations have past under the influence of some sort of illegal substance. Unfortunately birth control pills are not one of them!
SHERIFF JOE FOR PRESIDENT
Daley's nephew is in the process of opening up a drug screening facility.
When benefits are denied to drug users; they will resort to crime to support their habit. Talk about job security!

Let us not rush to judgement, here.
I can think of two freeloading exempts who rode the medical right up to retirement. Another rode the medical roll and is now in MLAS.
OT but a confidant at finance says The Chief at Midway is getting his 12 grand back plus interest. Merry Christmas!

Thats a great thought but do we really need more expenses to the taxpayer to teach people something that should be common sense anyway.
It's a great idea, but the ACLU will probably jump on it and get it declared unconstitutional unless there are very clearcut guidelines which give absolutely no discretion to the affected officials. Proper guidelines have probably not been drafted as this is likely a quick kneejerk reaction to something.
Better idea is to require it for each and every applicant.
It'll never happen in Chicago. How else are they going to get these motherfuckers to vote democratic?

If the Alderman are caught outside the city limits packing can our suburban brothers (and sisters) do anything about it?
Just curious.

While welfare is usually thought as "black and hispanic family aid", if you go up to Edgewater and Rogers Park you discover the significant number of Russian-Jewish welfare recipients living in very nice CHA senior housing and Section 8 rental housing. This Russian emigre racket has been going on for years, aided by Jewish welfare agencies who helped Russian Jews emigrate to US and then set them up with all tax-payer paid welfare services available. These folks haven't contributed to Social Security, and yet milk the system.
I have more sympathy with our under-class native-born Americans on welfare with poor educations and dsyfunctional family histories than immigrants who have come here specifically to enjoy the social welfare "safety net".

Fuuuuuuuck YOU! The kids "that die" are from the hand of their own flesh and blood. The rest of the litter, grama is raising. I process these useless loser assholes through the courts and hear all their stories. Every one of them is pimping the system. Every single one. And they all know their rights and everyone is racist. OK? Now shut the fuck up. That kind of thinking got us into this mess. Lazy ass dogs all of 'em.

Actually, yes they can. Aldermen are allowed to carry a handgun as part of a city ordinance which has no legal bearing outside of the city. Just like the city's handgun registration ban doesn't mean squat in the suburbs. To my suburban and county brothers and sisters, if you should happen to stop one of these assholes, please lock them up for aggravated UUW.
It's about f'ing time!!!!!
When there are more people sucking out of the system than people putting in( Police and the rest of the middle class) there is bound to be enormous problems. The current Presidential Administration is just printing more money. In a few years we will be like a third world country with a hamburger costing $25.00

Very true. This has been going on for years ande years in RP. These Russian immigrants have money in many cases, usually from criminal black market operations in Russia. They come here, thinking that they will be successful. Then they find out it is really hard to get a decent job here! And, coming from socialism, they lack a work ethic. Can't hold a job. Lack skills, work ethic, drive. They spend their money and then get the SSI perks. Especially the older ones. People are starving in Russia, yet these ones seem to have money to come here. I thought Moscow had old people selling their shoes on the street. It's better in Rogers Park. They vote, too.
Drug testing parents who receive TANF (monetary aid from govt) for kids is a good idea, but complex. Once a parent with an child comes up with a positive urine drug test, DCFS has to be notified. The drug addicted parent would have to go in a rehab program (good luck finding a drug rehab program that takes medicaid or the uninsured...they are rare, usually have long waiting lists etc..) and the kids would most likely end up "in the system" for a long period of time.
The law is a great idea, but only if the necessary support systems are in place and can be afforded by the local goverment and communities.
wont happen here. not with liberalism in full bloom. answer me this...how can you hate all forms of government ...and yet you completely depend on the government? how can you run a government/obama yet be so anti-government? and create bigger government in the process?
