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:
They should
It is about time. Every state should do the same.
Good
Fantastic. 51 states to go
Most police agencies do random drug test on their officer. I know mine does
Ed Robertson why are so many of them roided out and massively huge?
I’m not sure I understand your question. A lot of guys on the Police department work out, especially guys who are assigned to SOD/Swat teams, ERT units and Vice. Some of these take legal muscle building supplements. Police agencies have very strict policies against illegal drug use and steroids. That being said you and I know the Police department is a reflection of community which means officers have drug problems, alcohol problems, gambling problems ect. The Police department does not condone any of these vices and if you are caught using drugs or steroids you will be terminated.
You are very welcome, take care.
I heard if you test positive you have to pay for the test. One month of link for one person is 194 dollars.the 194 dollars pays for three tests and some change.times that by 12 months that almost 24000 dollars a year .i dont see where the program is too costly. For every applicant getting just food stamps over 40 tests and if its positive you have to pay for it.
They also have rehab programs and job training programs at the dhs.they could take people looking to better themselves stay in the program .
