"If you work all day, you don't have time to do heroin"

Yes, Kentucky senator Rand Paul actually said that. He also said that Americans shouldn't be given a penny if they don't work and that work needs to be attached to everything. Paul delivered this speech in New Hampshire, which has seen a 90 percent increase in heroin users admitted to state treatment centers from 2004 to 2013. Huffington Post reports that Paul eventually went on to say that heroin addiction had to do with more than just lack of work. Paul actually co-sponsors an organization with the goal to treat addiction as more of a health problem by giving medical assistance to the addicted.
