There has been a joke about this going around for a couple of years, the one where the union worker has to pass a urine test before picking up his check. I was hoping to see Iowa on the list of states debating such a bill. Guess not! Welfare with strings!
Huh, I just got done reading that while I was on break. I think it’s a great idea, but the good ol’ ACLU thinks “It’s an example of where you could cut costs at the expense of a segment of society that’s least able to defend themselves,”. Shut up. If I get a drug test and fail I lose my job. If you fail a drug test you should lose your free money- plain and simple. And why is this “segment of society” least able to defend themselves? Uh, frustrating.
Maybe the government should give everyone that’s unemployed a fishing pole and license instead of a $400 drug test. I don’t know many if any folks that are drugging and fishing together. Might reduce the need for those food stamps also!
I agree that assistance money shouldn’t go for dope, but maybe we need to drug test the CEO’s of companies that are getting bailed out and make sure those billions or trillions aren’t being misused for extranvagance or overindulgence.
