“We want to remove barriers to work and make it easier to get a job, while making sure public assistance is available for those who truly need it,” Walker said in a statement.

Not understanding how drug testing makes it easier to get a job. And regarding the whole idea of those who truly need it, that’s just code for White people.

Honestly, if Walker is re-elected on Tuesday, I don’t want to hear anything more from WI.

There are only like 10% blacks in Wisconsin, per link below. So I imagine these folks that are about to get kicked off because they can’t work are mostly white folk that vote republican. Careful what you wish for folks!

Soylent Cheese! From Scot Walker and the good people of Wisconsin! At Food Banks everywhere!

Better let the nursing homes know that most of their patients need to be put to work. That lady in the coma…perhaps she could work as the receptionist. And the man with dementia, I think being a sous chef would suit him well. The one in the wheelchair, perhaps medical transport.

Meh. His express ticket to nowheresville is already in the mail.
