Azure - COULD your drug use possibly be a contributing factor in your "disabililty"? Besides, if you are getting a disability check each month, then WE are basically paying for YOUR drugs, because YOUR disability money comes from OUR taxes.
I would MUCH rather pay the 10-30 dollars http://www.randomstudentdrugtesting.org/faqs.... for the drug test than the hundreds of dollars in welfare checks to a family once a month. Besides, should welfare recipients have to be tested, THEY should pay for it - no wait, that would just mean WE would be paying for it after all.

If I have to take a drug test to keep my job which in turn makes me pay taxes that go to welfare, then why shouldn't they have to take a drug test to recieve the welfare money? If you have so little money that you need to be on welfare, then you shouldn't be spending money on drugs. If you want to do drugs.... go out, get a job, and pay for them yourself!!!!
Work harder America.... people on welfare are
depending you you.

Seeing as how many families are abusing the system, I think it should be more than mandatory to have drug testing done on anyone who receives public asssistance. It would come out of tax dollars, however, the tax payers would be saving a lot more in the long run if the people found receiving assistance were permanently rejected from ever receiving public assistance again. I completely agree with the testing.
