Should They Drug Test Welfare Recipients?
 

what's your thoughts on this..

i'm saying fuck yes, if i have to take a piss test to go to work.. fuckers should have to take a piss test to get free money.

I love that you guys have to take drug tests for work.

Lolololol

That must suck.

I don't think it'd be a bad idea.

Sound theory.

I think they should be. My tax money pays for the program, I don't want pay for other people's drugs when I got my own to buy. Union=no drug test for me.

Got a feeling if they did this the rate of homeless ppl would go up drastically.

Who cares. Let them die off

People like you is the reason I hate humanity.

People like you are the reason 8 yr olds still breastfeed

they should have stipulations... if it's too feed your family of young ones than no
if it's to feed just yourself because your not working than yes...

SiK: I'm fine with that tbh.

The taxpayer cost of drug testing that many people on a regular basis would be ridiculous, far exceeding the amount of money denied to the people who failed.

And the poor populations of Colorado and Washington would skyrocket because they have legalized marijuana. That would lead to a backlash against pro-marijuana legislation.

I don't think marijuana is the drugs they talking on

but I agree w certain first point

good theory but bad in implementation

Pots calling kettles black

yeah Serpent brings up a good point, I'm really not too familiar with the economics of it all but it sounds pretty unfeasible in practice.

In theory, however, I think an appropriate caveat would be to have the option of welfare money for living expenses (EBT, food stamps, etc) if drug free, and if positive for hard drugs (class 1? I think, idk) then that money is used for rehab purposes.

it's a tough balance, sympathy for the individual but pragmatism for the nation as a whole.

Sc 1 drugs have no medical application @oats

Hey Rawn shut the fuck up.

Go play w ur diagonal rook cake

I legitimately have no idea what this means. I just know there are different drug classifications, with "street drugs" being considered the worst/most dangerous. Though as I recall, those classifications themselves were pretty awful.

Ya they need to b revised tbh

I just read an article on cnn about how marijuana is improperly classed
