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

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.

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 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.

It would be invading my constitutional rights
