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:
Ignorant fools
Good
Send them packing
Paul Brown agreed! If your able bodied and can work you should be!
Looks like a lot need to be deported
So, overall, they are assuming that 8% of applicants would have failed, when the nationwide average for drug use hovers near 10%. WOW, way to go!
Now when is the rest old the country
The bottom line assistance abuse drug test them absolutely I do they should have to I do for my job a lot of abuse going on in the welfare system just lazy people using the system make them get off there asses and work for a living
Another f**e news site with f**e results. Testing welfare recipients is a waste of time and money. They actually test lower than the general population.
