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:
Looks like a lot of Hispanics in that line. Just saying
Hello politicians…. how about you drug test your kids, your girl friend and the guy who’s fucking your wife… damn fools.
Good
They should all have to submit to RANDOM drug screening. In addition, they should be required to work 20 hours a week in community service. We have to submit to drug screening to get the jobs that we are taxed on. We have to show up for work to earn our money. There should be some reciprocity in the situation.
Good hope it goes nation wide
Since we have to submit to drug screening in order to get our jobs your point is invalid.
Except weed, that’s bull$#%&!@* weed is okay.
GREAT!
Stop giving illegals any benefits. Problem SOLVED.
They should drug test the person who calls himself president
