Drug Tests for Welfare Recipients, Finally!
This one has been a long time coming, way to go, Florida!
I have to take a test where I work, and my taxes are going to a lady down the road that has a boyfriend living with her and their three kids and his two kids from another lady he didn't marry, so they should have to take a test to take my money. One of my kids is friends with one of theirs and I've had to go over twice now because he won't come back on time. Once the guy had a bong on the table (which meant my little guy wasn't going to their house inside anymore) and was complaining on and on about how tight their budget was that month, and the other time, my little guy was in the backyard playing and there was a group of 5 or so men huddled in a cloud of smoke. That was the last time my kid played there. If he has to take a test to pick up his welfare in July, there's one last family using my hard-earned tax dollars on drugs, or free food because they're using my tax money on drugs. I have to sacrifice to get to work, to work, and in what i buy because I don't make enough, so I have no understanding for people buying drugs or using them and then expecting to just get the money. Now I hope other states get in line and do the same thing!

Also, I find it interesting how many people know the circumstances of all these welfare cheats/drug users and don't turn them in or call the cops for their illegal drug use...particularly when children are involved.
Yes, then the kids are removed from the home.
*** It's not going to pass constitutional muster.
I wonder if you would be the same way about people who drank. I mean we are talking a little weed.
The problem with this is how completely short-sighted and naive those who developed it
I'd tend to agree, although I didn't want to rain on anybody's parade. It mostly looks like a jobs program for some enterprising entrepreneur...and we need jobs, right? Oh, wait, there's a deficit going on....never mind.
I just read that some Republican got all hot under the collar because he thinks that ending ethanol subsidies is a "tax increase". One has to wonder if he's all there...Lamar Alexander said something similar last fall...rolling back the Bush tax cuts was "the largest tax increase in history". Ok, dude....I'm guessing you never got to calculus, right?
