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 majority of welfare recipients are us Caucasians, yet Hispanic looking people are on this cover?
AMAZING
You Sir are a disgrace to us Republican conservatives. So NOT true of this meme. Ignorant STUPID
Go suck on a Mexican snuzzage since you are so wet for them
YOU make us Republican conservatives appear like ignorant morons
Literally quite high
So of the 159 applicants who were told they had to take a drug test, 57% tested positive or failed to appear, presumably because they knew they would fail the test.
What about work…barak removed the work ethic from welfare…reinstate it…
Sam Mc obviously not, she said “not just sit back & receive”. And I agree. years ago I received food stamps & had to volunteer at a headstart for it
As a Police Officer, back in the late 60s I was told the same thing by a teenage boy when I asked him. Why don’t you get a job, he said I don’t need to work. I get all I need from the county, besides my mother and father have never worked so why should I. He ended up with an arrest record during my time as a Police Officer, sad but it is still that way today !!!
Jaclyn Meeks The schools are feeding the children, they send food home for the weekend, they feed them even in the summer. That gives the mother her debit card with money that should go for food to buy drugs with. So a stoned mother is what they go home to.
