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:
Hillary voters should be drug tested also!!!!!!!
Awesome. Do it in every state!
Next step maybe?
This is great! Now more people will have to work for benefits. Worked in grocery store where we would hear,” oh I can’t work cause they’ll cut my benefits”. They made more money from benefits
We have had 5 drs in my area 2 of which were surgeons busted for meth all caught in traffic stops not from being pissed tested on the job so yeah it needs to be done more.
Great! About time someone has!

HOORAY
About time. It is only fair.
All states should do this!
