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:
The tax payer is the single most taken advantage of people. You would think our Government would take notice who the workers are and take the better care of them and if they had more left over poll us to see where it should go. It is after all ours. The vets would so be taken care of. I see houses setting empty that a vet could have. Tax dollars to them for utilities and food. Yes over illegals any day.

Ann Mitchell Milligan, Know or no????
And Maryland!
Why is North Carolina not listed as one of the seven states with current welfare drug testing programs? Why I are these results so much different than those published for the seven states? Why is this shown as a paid advertisement?
