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:

What, you don’t like seeing the truth? Come to Colorado Springs and see for yourself whis standing in these lines. Try to get into the Community Health Center and see for yourself who is occupying all of the seats.
There are the occasional black, white and Asian but the overwhelming majority of the people are Hispanic and virtually none of them are either legal or speak English. That is a picture of reality.
You don’t want to see the truth , let’s see how use more welfare please crawl out of the rock you are living under and wake up to reality
the people that make the laws do not submit to periodic drug testing. the government as a whole also does not drug test. no one should have to test for drugs to work. drugs are a government psych op to subjugate the population.
trickle down,,,,,,,,get ajob

About time.
It’s about time.
You really are a dumbass, I’ve seen the reality first hand moron. When I was unemployed and going to the Workforce Center to find a job I had to walk passed these people. I know what I’m talking about but you’re obviously clueless. Judging from your utter lack of ability to speak proper English I’m willing to bet that you’re illegal as well. Go back to whatever shithole country you came from, you’re not needed here.
They can work. Too many lazy capable men and women living off handouta
