Drug test people on welfare and put In God we trust on all license plates. Welcome to GA

[The Straight Story]

Georgia license plates could sport "In God We Trust"

A requirement that all of Georgia's license plates read "In God We Trust" and a mandate requiring the state to drug-test parents who apply for federal financial assistance were among bills filed Tuesday, the first day state lawmakers could submit proposed laws and resolutions in advance of next year's legislative session.

The drug-test mandate would apply to anyone applying for the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. The program provides temporary financial help to low-income families with children who cannot meet basic needs. The federal government provides grants to individual states to run the program.

State Rep. Jason Spencer, R-Woodbine, sponsored the bill and has said state taxpayers should not have to subsidize "drug addiction" among the program's applicants.

Separately, the call to a higher power -- at least among vehicle owners -- follows a kerfuffle last spring. The state was forced to re-do a public contest to pick a new license plate design after the Revenue Department's website showed entries with the "In God We Trust" motto, without making clear it was not a permanent part of each design.

1. I think it is much more important to test all the people in the legislature

then the welfare recipients. After all, how much harm can a welfare recipient do to the country.
