What Would A Dick Do?


If Scott Walker is worried about those receiving public aid being drug-free, then he needs to test everyone receiving public aid.

Walker Gearing up to Unveil Welfare Drug Testing Proposals
We may soon learn whether President Trump will allow Wisconsin to drug-test some people applying for federal benefits – including Food Share and Medicaid. Gov. Walker says he plans to submit a request, after he unveils his full proposal next week. Walker mentioned the move during his budget address in February.
Scott Walker wants Trump to let him drug test tens of thousands more poor people
Most recently, Walker is continuing his quest to drug test as many of the low-income residents of Wisconsin as he can, asking the Trump regime for permission to drug test Medicaid applicants.
So, this begs the question, when will Wisconsin start testing all recipients of aid?

If Walker's unfair and punitive proposal passes, I want to see Bud Selig and the Brewer's organization; Ted Thompson and the Packers; Wes Edens, Marc Lasry and the Bucks organization; the numerous developers throughout the state receiving public aid; Harley-Davidson; Mercury Marine; Johnson Controls; Brunswick; Kohl's; Northwestern Mutual; Quad Graphics; Marcus Corp. and all the other corporate welfare recipients, who've received greater aid than any low-income resident, lined up with their pee-cups in hand, ready to take their drug tests.

Gov. Scott Walker Wants Drug Testing For Public Aid Recipients

Gov. Scott Walker wants drug testing for public aid recipients
Few details were included on the new proposals, but advocates for the needy said the drug testing proposal for jobless and food stamp benefits would violate federal law — a complication that killed a similar proposal promoted by Republican lawmakers in 2011. Walker himself acknowledged the potential for conflict but said the move was still right for the state.
Since Scott Walker wants all those receiving public aid to be drug tested, I assume we will be testing the Brewers, the Bucks, Harley Davidson, the developers whom have received public aid for their private construction projects, and the numerous other private entities awarded public aid?

Or (in typical Republican fashion) does this only apply to the poor?
