Drug Testing for Welfare.

KLDG said:
I will completely agree with a random drug test before ANY activity regarding government funding. People receiving Welfare should be required to have a receipt for everything purchased with that money, in my opinion of course.

I don't know if a receipt should be required for ALL of the money, but for the vast majority of it, I agree. Groceries, gas, bill, etc...Of course. If there's like $30 left at the end of the month and they want to buy a game or a book, then by all means they should be entitled to it. Entertainment is good for mental health.
 
I can't agree more, and it should be implemented worldwide.

Yes. this would give the receivers more freedom of their purchases, but will also make sure their spending aren't necessary.
 
This should be implemented in the uk, i hate knowing that people don't work, get their monthly rent paid for them and just spend the money the benefits they get on drugs or alcohol and tabacco.

If your hitting a crack pipe, do you really think you deserve the freedom to not take a drug test? Whats wrong with the government saving money by not feeding peoples drug habbits.

I'm not putting this thread towards potheads, im more focused on the more harder drugs seeing as how marijuana is barely considered a drug in most states. Also A junkie can't last 2 days without a hit so you know they wont stay clean for a test.

you got a point here, i think people would be less concerned with the potheads and more concerned with the harder drugs.

EDIT: 400th post yippie!
 
Drug testing for Welfare is going to happen eventually. (in the US at least)

Considering the amount of debt that the US is in, more focus and scrutiny will be paid on how tax money is used. It is a question of when not if.
 
the reason this is unconstitutional is because humans should have the right being innocent until proven guilty, and being forced to prove your innocent is unconstitutional
this law in florida is horrible welcome to america 2.0 police state

If someone is using the money I basically hand them and it's meant to be used to live, I think I have every right to make sure that's what they're using it for. I didn't hand them a portion of my paychecks that I EARNED, so they can lay around and smoke crack.

People would just show up, take the money, spend it on drugs, and never come back. Drug addicts don't think logically

The Welfare system, like anything run by the government, is run idiotically. People SHOULD have to have drug testing and there should be a 6 month-1 yr max on welfare unles you show that you're trying. Just my thoughts

I think this statement is wrong.

Even stoners should get a job to fund their addiction.

What makes them special enough to smoke weed all day while I work 60 hours a week paying for it?
 
As an occasional user of illicit substances I'm perfectly fine with this.

The government is giving you money. They have the ability to control the terms on which they give it to you. You can make the case that you deserve the money for paying taxes, but consider that the bottom 40% (the ones that usually get wellfare) own 0.2% of the nations wealth, and actually result in a net negative loss in tax revenue for the government.
 
This is a great idea so many people would not be on welfare if this happened, it's like forcing them to get a job to survive for thereselfs/familys
 
100% Agree!

I've seen so much controversy about this and it's retarded. If you don't want to work and actually make your money, then you should definitely be drug-tested and the state should watch where you are spending your money exactly.
 
Welfare is abused in every part of our country, I personally have known around 100~ people who abuse it. It's not monitored enough. Basically any family with a couple kids can get it, without having a job.. Just being a lazy ass. Illegal immigrants also get welfare and free healthcare.

That's why all the mexicans have their children here, so their children can be american citizens. I "LOL" at what America has become.

From JFK's presidency, to a fake black man with purple lips running around playing basketball, trying to pass fail jobs bills and going on vacations more than any other president.
