The focus here is on requiring a measure of responsibility and integrity from those on the public dole. In the conservative world, that is not only for the benefit of those furnishing the funds which would be the taxpayers, but also the recipients of the funds by not encouraging irresponsibility.
This concept deserves some closer examination. Conservative principles should require a measure of responsibility and integrity not only from those on the public dole, but also from those who hold ANY job that affects public safety, public health, or public well-being. It follows that everyone in such a job, whether employed by the government or not, must also be screened for drugs.
That would include not only all healthcare workers, but everyone who manages someone else's money (from bank directors to cashiers), all architects, everyone in the media, everyone in a job related to the law, anyone in childcare, anyone working at zoos...
Are you comfortable with all of this?
I am comfortable focusing on the specific topic of this thread. If you would like to discuss all the other subjects you seem to want to drag into it, please start your own thread.
Thank you very much.
