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:
Not surprising
Good
wish Pa would too!
turn in two (2) dirty tests and you get nothing ! Work for it or get out ! No free rides toad !
I think every state should be Drug Testing Welfare Applicants.
It should be done in every state !!!!! And again This is part of the reason why I left the Democratic Party after 42 years and will never again vote for a Democrat!!!! The Party has become a embarrassment and I have no desire to be a part of that embarrassment!!!!!!
How about asking for citizenship.
Jesus Lord. 89 isn’t the number. The number is 21. 7600 people were screened. 21 tested positive. Of those 21, 12 are still receiving some reduced benefits because they have children.

Still, the rate of drug use among the general population is about 9%, which means those on public assistance use drugs way less than…Truth and Action readers, for example. Which isn’t surprising if you have a brain, because the thing about poor people is they don’t have money, and drugs cost money.
