What Carp said. You don't have proof to the otherwise, and it's a well known fact that the system is abused. Why else would we need to pass a law to try and reduce said abuse? You figure all 36 Senate members here in Texas have made up an issue that doesn't exist just to be able to pass some...

Who said anything about what they would become. I said being in school is an attempt on their part to further themselves. Not someone who is putting no effort at all into putting back into the system

There is a big difference between someone getting free money and someone getting money for an education. One is contributing to society and one is leeching off of it.

There is a big difference between someone who is getting free money versus someone who is working for it. It's a dumb comparison.

Absolutely 100% correct. Every word.

Comparing people that get free money to people that are either paying back the money (students) or working for the money (govt employees) is really stupid.

:lol Exactly.

Hell, for that matter, we have wasted like 6 1st round picks in the last 10 years. OUTBID!

I think it's a passive thing. We have been kinda sorta okay for a long time and we have let our govt get to the point where we are in a comfort zone. Too damn comfy. We have allowed them to take too much control. The simple fact they can track our weapons is ridiculously beyond what the...

Our country was founded by us having to fight our government at the time. We used the weapons allowed us to gain our independence. How is this any different?

We took Roy Williams from Detroit using a 1st, 3rd, and 6th. We outbid everyone on the market. We won? Or did Detroit make a good move? Your argument is invalid.

To be fair, I think Denver feels like they can win now. So, I don't feel that move was dumb, just risky. Doesn't mean NE was dumb for dumping him, tho.

Drug tests run around 30 bucks a pop. So, even if they tested every single applicant annually it would be $3 million. The program currently deals out 90 million in free money. So, I figure it would be fairly easy to cut out a little over 3% of money dealt out by cutting the ones that abuse...

Besides, as it states in the article, it's not like they will be testing all 100,000 recipients. Only those that are deemed high risk because of past indiscretions or failed tests.

Pulling shit out of your ass as normal. You have absolutely nothing to substantiate this claim. Hell, they may work out a contract with a company to provide tax breaks to the company instead of paying as much as an employer would now to test an employee. You have no clue.

:lol No shit.
