Here are 2 simple new laws that would drasticly cut crime and reduce our taxes.
1) In order to get any govenment assistance such as welfare, food stamps, etc., you need to pass a drug test before you get your first check and at random times there after. Fail this test you are banned from getting government assistance again for at least 10 yrs. I have to take and pass a regular drug test to get/keep my job as a government employee why should other's standards be less for getting government money.
2) If you or a minor in your supervision (i.e. child or relative under 18 living with you) are convicted of a felony crime you lose the right to any government assistance (welfare, food stamps, etc.) for 10 years.
