Smoking pot.

So Senator Orrin Hatch – Republican of Utah – thinks that the unemployed should be tested for drugs. This will help them get the help they need. Oh, really?

Do you really think the unemployed are spending their tiny unemployment checks on drugs? Seriously? I’m not in a direct position to know these days, but I’m guessing that the cost of fun drugs like pot and cocaine and ecstasy and whatever else people buy has gone up just as everything else has gone up, you know, inflation. No, Orrin, the unemployed are not on drugs and don’t need to be tested. What they need are jobs and for Congress to get off its collective fat ass and extend the benefits it already approved through the stimulus.

This stance of Hatch’s is particularly disturbing because it’s a thinly disguised attempt to blame the victim, to demonize the poor person who has lost their job through no fault of their own. They (and I have to include myself in this, since I’m now unemployed) are now part of the evil lurking among us. I suspect this all goes back to that crazy and erroneous Puritan stance that working is somehow close to godliness. Really? Have you had a job in America lately? I want to hear all the uplifting stories about how the vast majority of employment opportunities puts me closer to a creator.
