What Is Good For the Goose Is Good For the Gander

Texas Governor Rick Perry and Lt. Governor David Dewhurst backed  a change in the state law requiring mandatory drug testing for welfare recipients.  There is nothing wrong with that, putting the poor folks in an embarrassing postion for taking money to survive on.

I do not know much about David Dewhurst but I have watched Rick Perry when he ran for governor.  I noticed the way he fumbled and got hung up on the next word he was going to say in such a way, I wondered if he was under the influence of alcohol.

So, if the poor have to take drug tests to get money should the elected officials also take test to see how often they are under the influence while making important decisions?  After all, their decisions will effect the economy much more the poor people welfare checks will.
