"US warns on R.I. marijuana dispensaries; Justice Dept. says state law no shield from prosecution
July 02, 2011|By Erika Niedowski, Associated Press
PROVIDENCE - The US Department of Justice has warned that large-scale
medical marijuana dispensaries in Rhode Island could
face federal prosecution for violating drug and money-laundering laws.
Didn't Obama say he was calling off the dogs when he came in as part of the change?
And here we are three years later with another f***ing broken promise.
A memo obtained by The Associated Press on Thursday says that marijuana dispensaries could be prosecuted
even in states where
medical marijuana is legal....
I find that not only unconstitutional, but criminal.
Sig Heil!
Sixteen states, including Rhode Island, have
legalized the medical use of marijuana - actions that have
prompted the Justice Department to take a tougher position on the issue.
I don't know what they are smoking down there.

"R.I. joins push to halt unemployment benefits fraud" by
Laura Crimaldi, Associated Press
/ July 4, 2011
PROVIDENCE - A
nationwide crackdown is coming for
people fraudulently drawing unemployment payments - those who were never eligible and workers who keep getting checks after they return to work - a
$17 billion benefits swindle last year alone, say federal officials.
Un-flipping-f***ing-real!
So the banksters and corporate war profiteers are off the hook for looting, theft, and fraud, but the struggling unemployed are going to be pored over with a fine tooth comb?
Just ONE MORE JUSTIFICATION for SLASHING a SOCIAL SERVICE PROGRAM, isn't it?
Yeah, the unemployed are gettin' rich; I'm living proof of it.
With the
poor economy lingering and the jobless rate remaining high, Rhode Island and other states are
stepping up efforts to stop the fraud and improper payments....

How can the poor economy be lingering if.... sigh.
That's the problem with telling so many lies; after a while, they can't keep 'em straight.
“This is
not a simple problem. If someone who’s
unemployed and not looking for work, how is
someone going to find that out?’’
Yeah, your government is really looking out for you, Americans.
So WHERE are all these JOBS I KEEP HEARING ABOUT because they are NOT AROUND HERE!!!
