Some time ago it was mentioned that random dug tests were going to be performed on welfare recipients. Do you feel this would be OK? Why or why not

It would be invading my constitutional rights

I think it would be a great idea, especially because so many people cheat the system. I've worked for K-Mart, Meijers, and Wal-Mart during the Christmas season and watched WAY too many people use wic and bridge card for usual purposes, then spend upwards of $600 on electronics and random things (for themselves). Last year I even had a woman say she couldn't afford to buy her two children presents, AFTER she spent a considerable sum on herself. Her slip-up was mentioning that all these little gadgets and gizmos were for herself. It's just my opinion, but I still feel it would be a good idea. +3

I was not aware of this and will do a little research. Depending on the purpose and to what end I could see how it might make sense. As it sounds like it might be done by the goverment I see it blowing being an expensive farce. +5

I think thats the best idea I have heard in a long time. I work hard for my money and for the money I pay in taxes. I bet welfare would be cut by 70% if they did that. I have to take random drug tests for work and they should have to take them to get free money.

I am totally fine with it,if they are getting tax payers money,we should know if the money is being used for illegal drug use,if so,they get removed from the system.
