Please Scroll Down to See Forums Below Well, I'm ambivalent about this one. I guess I have some compassion for those with addiction that render them incapable of work. On the other hand, I understand the concern that people have about funding the purchase of illegal drugs through tax dollars. I'm not sure what the answer is to that one.

At the very least there funds should be cut.

I think putting the funds on a debit card that could only be spent at certain places would curb abuse and not force those with addictions into the streets or into stealing/robbing for drugs/alcohol. I think that funding rehabs would probably come out to be a net gain for our country, besides just being the humane and compassionate thing to do.

Wrong, people will trade diapers for drugs. They will trade anything they can buy for drugs. They do drugs, they get their funds cut. They have no other responsibilities at all. Nothing!
I have a pretty liberal mentality but umm, when it comes to this I have to agree with the lawmakers. Plenty of companies these days require you pass both a piss test and a credit check to get a job.
I do think forcing the welfare recipients to pay for the test, when they're already on a fixed income, is kind of shitty though. Sometimes good people fall on hard times through no fault of their own, especially in the current economic climate.
