Democrat and Republican liberals alike often excoriate those who think that welfare programs should not be parceled out indiscriminately, but should require something from the recipients. Back when Bill Clinton was fighting impeachment, he actually signed on to a welfare for work program, and amazingly, the welfare roles shrank!
It turns out that if people can get stuff for free, without having to do anything for it, they will. That should not be a surprise. The other thing liberals will have us believe is that welfare recipients have no responsibility for their situation. While that is certainly true in some cases, there are many more that result from poor decisions and behavior.
Starting late last year, North Carolina began requiring drug testing of new applicants for a state welfare program. A number of politicians decried the requirement as unfair, saying that it was too costly, and that it was onerous to those who would be required to take the test. The test was not universal and applied only to one program, but the results were quite surprising.
See test results on page 2:
Good for them.
Why should we pay them for staying high
A lot of people on food stamps do work. Also many states this past year added requirement that adult able bodied people without minor children are limited to 3 months out of 3 years on food stamps unless they are working 20hours a week.
They better test the “testers” for
Prescription pain pills!
Welfare recipients should be drug tested every month for their benefits.. This is why they need to stop direct deposit and make them GO in and take a drug test to receive a paper check
For sure; and they do and get priority in the public schools, and “instate college tuition and sometimes “free” college while the kids from disadvantaged neighborhoods that are from “legal citizen” homes get no help!!
