Let's spend $178 million to save $60,000

[giblets]

MrFun, are you trying to surpass Ben in being an idiot? I guess you like a challenge.

Forget the $178 million. The $60,000 number is even more implausible. That's welfare benefits for what, ten people? Five people?


MrFun is a devastating counterexample to the idea that higher education improves your critical thinking skills.

[The Mad Monk]

He just needs to learn to check his sources, is all.

And here was stupid old me, thinking that a liberal arts education would "teach people how to think"

[DaShi]

This is quickly becoming the irony thread.

The 2% that failed were likely just pot smokers. All else leaves the system quickly. Kind of another failed effort.

Trying?

I think we should set aside a 'dope stipend', to ensure that the folks on welfare have access to quality dope instead of having to buy it from some shady dealer with who knows what mixed in. Just imagine the savings on hospitalization from crappy dope!

This is a great idea.

Would probably have it prescribed for free by a doctor rather than given away so the doctors can offer other medical support.

And the main saving, of course, is not in health care bills it's in reduced crime rates.

I hate every fat white nerd who says "Legalize it because it lowers crime" while they eat their fifth bagel and tell themselves it's okay because they're [Jewish/a New Yorker/forever alone]. THE PEOPLE WHO ARE SELLING THE DOPE, HAVING LOST THEIR INCOME STREAM THROUGH LEGALIZATION, ARE NOT GOING TO THROW DOWN THEIR MAC-10S AND GET A BACHELOR'S IN ABE LINCOLN STUDIES SO THEY CAN ARCHIVE THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS FOR 25 YEARS. THEY ARE GOING TO SHOOT YOU AND TAKE YOUR WALLET.

Obviously we need to start a war at the same time.

We say that we are claiming Somalia as a territory, and that there is free land for anyone who moves there.

Thankfully I don't live in your ****ty country.

I think US needs to start a war on the poor, after the war on drugs and terror wars fail...

What needs to be done is first locate them and following that:

a) put them in jail, make them work for free, the lazy masses
b) give them option to work in sex industry instead, after all there are always jobs there
c) if a or b fails, execute them as clearly a bullet is cheaper than welfare

No welfare state, no communism - war on the poor is the final solution, as a side note, most of illegal aliens are poor so this sorts out the immigration problem in one go .

I was too hasty and impulsive in posting the crap in the OP.
