My husband works for a paving/construction firm and as is the norm, these days, they have to undergo drug tests every now and again. Gary is a lab technician, which means that he is in charge of making sure that the asphalt that is laid on the roads is up to standards according to government regulations (that should put your mind at ease). Others, within the company, drive heavy equipment, big trucks, and company vehicles, so you can easily assume that the need to test for substance abuse is both company and public oriented. People, in all walks of life, are tested on a regular basis by the companies employing them due to a need to insure the company’s productivity and consumer safety, so why is it that the president, congressmen/women, and representatives are not tested?

The job…okay, their duties require them to make decisions that will affect millions of Americans and yet, they could be high as kites in a stiff spring breeze for all we know. I am convinced that the speaker of the house, Nancy Pelosi, is abusing some substance because of the wide-eyed rants and raves of her attacks on other members of congress and former administrations, so she definitely needs to be tested. Senator Dodd is another one, but he is probably suffering from Alzheimer’s and that would account for the fact that he would have his office write several hundred pages of crap to cover the president’s backside on the AIG bonuses and not remember them, and the last I heard the narcissistic complex the president suffers is not drug related. However, there are way too many memory gaffs, back tracking, and out-right lying for no drugs to be used in the hallowed halls of congress.

“We the people” should drug test the lot of them, and it would be a more expedient way of clearing the government of useless pork-filled bills than trying to understand and vote towards a fair and logical administration of representation. We do not have to drug test Hillary; her gaffs are due to having lost the presidential nomination and menopause. I cannot believe I’m saying this, but it’s easy to feel some sense of sympathy for Hillary, at this time.
