Should Drug Testing Be Mandatory for Those Who Are on Welfare?
Question by jdukenumber1: should drug testing be mandatory for those who are on welfare?
i just read in states such as florida, oklahoma, louisiana and alabama that drug testing is mandatory for those on welfare. and i really don’t see the logic behind it. i find it degrading and quite ridiculous that because someone is of low income, the assumption is that it’s a high possibility they’re on drugs. and please don’t use the “my tax dollars are going to them so i should be sure that they’re using the money wisely” only one percent of federal taxes go to those in welfare so come up with another excuse. regardless if you use drugs or not, it’s an invasion of personal space. and let’s be real, the states mentioned have a high percentage of black people. you wouldn’t hear much of this law in a states such as colorado, idaho, or maine for example.
GRIM REAPER: that’s exactly what i’m talking about! you’re associating welfare recipients to drug users. why is that?

How Come People on Government Assistance Are Not Subject to a Drug Test Before and While Receiving Benefits?
Question by FAITH: How come people on government assistance are not subject to a drug test before and while receiving benefits?
Our tax dollars are paying for a lot of people’s drug addictions. I know here in California, most people on welfare are also on some type of drug abuse. They will take the General Relief money and Food Stamps and feed their drug habit instead of the kids. I believe they should all be subject to drug testing to receive benefits from our tax money and continue with unannounced drug testing to continue to receive payments. We the tax payers have a right to where the money is going.
