Democrat and Republican liberals alike often excoriate those who think that welfare programs should not be parceled out indiscriminately, but should require something from the recipients. Back when Bill Clinton was fighting impeachment, he actually signed on to a welfare for work program, and amazingly, the welfare roles shrank!
It turns out that if people can get stuff for free, without having to do anything for it, they will. That should not be a surprise. The other thing liberals will have us believe is that welfare recipients have no responsibility for their situation. While that is certainly true in some cases, there are many more that result from poor decisions and behavior.
Starting late last year, North Carolina began requiring drug testing of new applicants for a state welfare program. A number of politicians decried the requirement as unfair, saying that it was too costly, and that it was onerous to those who would be required to take the test. The test was not universal and applied only to one program, but the results were quite surprising.
See test results on page 2:
Ok that sounds reasonable. All I was caring about is the children.
I agree, but random is random.., testing all of them isn’t random..
While they are doing that they also need to check citizenship
I fully agree.. I personally know people that stay STONED day and night… They have food stamps, government assisted housing, and medi- care.. And a good buzz all day!!
Simple, no work no eat
Good
That’s interesting, I resided in the Midwest (South Dakota, Nebraska, and Iowa) for three years and I would go weeks without seeing a Hispanic but this picture shows a long line applying for a job more than likely. The hypocrisy is real.
I hope that it is Trina Webster. I don’t mind helping those who are in true need but if the taxpayers have to work to earn the money which pays the recipients of government assistance then it seems only fair that anyone who is physically capable should be have to give up some of their time in order to receive what is taken from us.
Yep, you’re a nut job.
Great idea!!
