Be drug tested?
The state of Georgia takes welfare every second of every day from the Feds.
Do we all have to take a drug test?
Do they test for prescription dope where they do not have a prescription?
No.
And prescription drug overdoses now lead illegal drugs at emergency rooms 10 to 1.
You are wrong. And besides that.. your ass has it bass ackwards.. The Government is the Welfare state.. They get their money from the States.. So Georgia pays into the kitty and gets a share back.. got that now? Thanks.
No one wants to address who the welfare benefits?
Drug users are bad but a drug users kid has nothing to do with it.
1) Anyone applying for unemployment
2) Anyone applying for social security
3) Anyone applying for medicare
4) Anyone who checks the "have the IRS figure out my taxes" box
Should be drug tested. Not to mention ongoing random drug tests for anyone who receives a pension from a government job.
Being mandatory or not is not the issue - just because some Americans are poor is not "reasonable cause" that they are all drug users.Does being poor in America enough to provide the government with "reasonable cause" under the Constitution for mandatory drug testing?
I think it's perfectly reasonable when asking for free, taxpayer provided dollars, to be reasonably certain you're not spending the money on drugs.
Welfare is not a mandatory program.
Nearly 1,600 Fla. welfare applicants decline to take drug test, fueling debate over new law
MIAMI State figures show that hundreds of welfare applicants in Florida have declined to take drug tests that have been required for the assistance since mid-July.
Thirty-two applicants failed the test, 7,028 passed and 1,597 didnt take it, according figures released Tuesday the Department of Children and Families. People who decline to take the test arent required to explain.
Proponents of the law have suggested applicants would be deterred because they knew they would test positive. Critics say applicants may not have taken the test because they couldnt afford the fee that can be as much as $35 or didnt have easy access to a testing facility.
Not sure how I feel about this.
are they doing alcohol testing, too?
either way... are you going to starve people for smoking a joint? pure harassment, imo.

Welfare is not a mandatory program.
If receiving "taxpayers dollars" is the criteria, then why aren't ALL individuals on the government payroll, including the president, his/her staff, members of Congress, Supreme Court Justices, etc. subject to the same rules.
That would open up a constitutional "can-of-worms" of those who would resent having "big government" intrude into their personal life without "reasonable cause."

Drug tests are JOKE. I have been in the security/detective business for 32 years.
Most of the worst prescription drugs are not tested. HIPPA bans them from asking what you are on if you take prescription drugs. It bans them from even asking if you have a prescription for it. You can eat all of those pills you want.
All that is tested are the illegal opiates-some of the opiates that are prescription WILL show up but most other legal drugs with a prescription will not.
Buy all those on the internet all day long without a prescription and do as much as you want and there will be nothing shown on the drug tests.

Drugs are expensive, nay...drugs are REAL expensive.
So just maybe a person who can afford drugs can afford food. Or just maybe the welfare money is just enough to support the drug habit.
[The taxpayers deserve to know that thier funds garnered by taxation is going to go for it's intended purpose, (food, clothing, shelter)...and nothing else.

Maybe we should require STD testing too. You know, because we wouldn't want people using their food stamps to buy hookers.
"Doctors, Teachers, Nurses, Firemen Policemen, truck drivers" are all in positions of added responsibility when it comes to safety/wellbeing of the public. Many are already on government payrolls, and those who aren't are subject to government licencing which could be used to require "drug testing."Being mandatory or not is not the issue - just because some Americans are poor is not "reasonable cause" that they are all drug users.I think it's perfectly reasonable when asking for free, taxpayer provided dollars, to be reasonably certain you're not spending the money on drugs.
