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:
Welfare should have a lifetime max of 5-10yrs. No more. That’s enough to go to school and learn a trade or get a new mom on her feet
Paul Brown sheeple, brain-dead, troll response.
There is no such thing as no jobs you can pick up can and bottles thats working!!!!
It’s about time
Every state should drug test!
If you have children then work to feed them, stay off drugs, and if you need additional help then go apply for it.
Good it’s way past time for it . Let’s include tests for unemployment and food stamps and maybe gov. Housing.
All recipients are being tested nothing to do with color.
Test College students with grants from the government! Drug testing Grant recipients!
Good for them
