The monetary cost of war

George Bush and his people continue to pour our national treasure into the sand of Iraq. Ever think of how much good this money could do for the people of the United States?

I know, I know, it is only costing Three to Five million per day, but after awhile that money adds up, doesn't it?

Urine test to work/Urine test for Welfare, right?

I read something like this earlier and it got me to thinking:

I am required to submit to a periodic urine test as a condition of my employment.
Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I
pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In
order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test
with which I have no problem.

What I do have a problem with is the
distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test.
Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I
have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no
problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other
hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their ASS, doing
drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state
would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance
check?
