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:
About damn time! If someone wants a paycheck, they should have no problem undergoing a drug test!
Good you have to have urine tests for jobs
Great
Thanks
Can’t wait to see the results of this
Good idea!!!
i believe in a minimum payout for all citizens under the british monarchy.. every person should recieve at least 1000 dollars per month over and above what they make at their job…the way the economy is now there is no middle class worker recieving near as much as inflation.. it would be nice to spend your hard earned money money on something other the car gas insurance and mortgage this is modern day slavery some people have never left the street they grew up on because we simply cant afford it
the homeless people are at fault but they are the ones with severe problems you couldnt even imagine thats why sleeping in a cardboard box is what they are accustomed too because nobody has ever “given” them anything
Hopefully this will be a positive start….
Shocker
