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:
Yes. Did you read the ACTUAL report. 7600 were screened at $55 per test. 159 were REQUIRED. Of those 159 only 89 showed up. Of those 89 only 21 tested positive. The other 7500+ screened or tested negative. Please for the love of God don’t trust this site. Go do some research and find out the truth.
All States should conduct drug testing for all welfare benefits and a time limit same as unemployment benefits have !
I understand there are jobs out there that still leave people in poverty and for those that are trying that fall in that category should still receive benefits that coincide with their income and family size !
Pretty sure that was how it started before it got out of hand !
Not true.
