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:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
Cut them off if they test positive most of them smoke take drugs and drink alcohol and get food stamps. Something is wrong with this wonder what it is????????
Is anyone surprised?
That’s because those are probably the unemployed. Most people that collect welfare have too much time on their hands. So they probably “hang out” which leads to other issues. That’s why us working parents usually don’t allow our children to “hang out” it usually leads to other problems. Solution, be employed, your employer requires drug testing. Being a productive individual doesn’t give you room to “hang out” and become a loser on drugs. It happens to all nationalities. Even the American ones.
Why is it only new recipients, everybody should have to be drug tested to continue receiving welfare.
HUA! Nuff Said!
They are not being tested for preparation H!
This should be mandatory Nationwide.
Why wouldn’t they? None of anything these retarded Liberals spew is of any worth. It is all regurgitated lies and disinformation from their liberal feedback loop. You couple that with uncontrolled “identity politics” and you have a Liberal! As these George Soros funded globalist meat puppets come up for re-election we need to vote them out of our government! http://nypost.com/…/science-says-liberal-beliefs-are…/
