And it seems it's the same nanny staters who want to outlaw smoking and salt.

It saddens me that a 19 year old soldier serving in combat can't drink a beer, but a 19 year old teen mom should be allowed to smoke dope. What's wrong with this country?
In our city Goodwill provides drug screening services and charges the city $50 a pop.
The welfare recipient cannot afford the $50 buck so who pays for it? the city.
So the money the state spends on screening welfare recipients for drugs every month eats away and may possibly become more expensive than just giving them the money in the first place.
do the math. 100 people screened at $50 a head equals $5,000 per month. For a year that comes to $60,000. How long is the wait period for results?
This is just a bad idea all the way around.
Actually welfare is a violation of the taxpayers right against INVOLUNTARY SLAVERY and their 5th Amendment right not to have the state take money from them - private individuals to give to the parasites , also private individuals.
So you want the privilege? Then waive your rights.
Right. That's pretty much what this all comes down to. Conservatives are opposed to the welfare state, but they don't have the wherewithal to get rid of it - so they resort to this kind of shit. They know that, while they can't get enough consensus to get rid of welfare, they can get plenty of liberals on board when it comes to micromanaging people's lives and telling them how to live. That seems to be the one thing liberals and conservatives agree on.
Precisely. So many alleged conservatives claim to favor small government, but their solution to what they consider a big government problem is to grow it even bigger.

Their enthusiasm for limited government is only activated when they're not in charge. When they are, they suddenly get libertarian amnesia.
Would they even actually remove Obamacare? That would be an actual reason to support them, but even for that they have little credibility.
No you are right
Much better to leave Papa Obama in place
so it cripples the market to point where the
the Left will starting demanding single payer

Most American Citizens have to be Drug-Tested to get or stay employed. Whether or not you agree with that isn't the point. It is the current state of things in America. Being required to be Drug Tested to receive Welfare shouldn't be so shocking to anyone in America. It just goes right in line with what the rest of American Citizens have to go through in their lives. Now if you oppose Drug Testing as an Employment requirement,i can see where you might be opposed to this. But if you don't have a problem with Drug Testing as an Employment requirement,you really shouldn't have a problem with this. Some just need to think things through a bit more before typing. Knee-Jerk responses are often a mistake.

I think that depends, the only job I was in where drug tests were a requirement is the Military, I have worked 2 jobs since than one with a private workers compensation company in Virginia and now with the Federal government, none of them require drug tests.
It isn't shocking..the problem is that it is the government doing it, which is more government involvement, and an expansion of already unwieldy programs.
In addition, the snap program exists SPECIFICALLY to provide food to the children of the poorest of the poor, i.e., children of addicts, criminals, people who live on the fringes of society, and if you make it so that addicts are left out of that then you are essentially saying the program is no longer about helping the children who need it the most. It's redefining what the program is about.
If we're going to do that, fine, I don't think it's a good idea...but at least call it what it is. A step towards eliminating that population via starvation.

Yea i'm just speaking in general. Most Employers are now requiring Drug Tests for gaining or keeping Jobs. And i can see where many would oppose that,but it is the Law of the Land currently. So if you want to receive Welfare,you have to accept that the Government has the right to require Drug Testing. They're basically your Employer at that point. So your rights are limited. So if Drug Testing is a an accepted Employment requirement,this really isn't so shocking or abusive. It's just the price you have to pay for getting that Government Cheese. Most Americans go through the same thing. It is what it is.
