Man of the people, Governor Tom Corbett, was quoted in our local paper as suggesting that one significant reason the unemployment rate in Pennsylvania was lagging the nation was that people were not applying for jobs because they would fail the mandatory drug test. Tom went on to say:
“This is a significant problem for Pennsylvania.” “Today I am announcing a new State program, through which we will offer drug rehabilitation to anyone who wishes to work.” “The program is free to all residents of the State and people enrolled in it can begin to work as soon as they are enrolled.”
No. That would be the response of some other governor not just blowing reelection smoke.
Tommy went on to say:
“Of course, these drug addled, unemployed, desperate people are certainly still encouraged to buy assault weapons in the State.” “Lock and load for the NRA.”
