This isn't a thing that happens.

It is why this was passed.

I'm aware of that legislation. It combated an imaginary problem.

It has happened.  I've seen it from personal experience.  I'm not one of those types who think everyone on welfare doesn't have the incentive to work - most of them do, but there's nothing wrong with making welfare what it is intended to be: a temporary safety net.

I support auditing the fed, free trade and limits on welfare. I'm undecided on the corporate tax and generally lean against gun control. I support amnesty though and don't want to test welfare recipients. We seem to be similar in our general outlook, which is rare on this forum!

What do you suggest we do with the illegal immigrants already here?

I support a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants already here, which I do not believe would constitute as amnesty.

Welfare queens are a right wing myth.

The way I see it, the term "welfare queens" is often used by people on the far-right to generalize.  I have nothing against people on welfare and acknowledge that the vast majority of them have the incentive to work in order to make ends meet.  I just believe that welfare should be what it was intended for: a hand-up for people who have the willingness to be successful.

I favor amnesty
I support abortion
I support limited gun control
I support gay marriage
I oppose auditing the fed
I oppose government drug tests for welfare
I support a progressive income tax
I support increased government spending during recessions
I support some regulations on the finance industry

I think that does it.

Dude, just get a red avatar. Sad

Starting to reconsider my views on drug-testing welfare recipients after seeing what happened in Florida.
