I see a whole lot of philosophy in the preceding threads.
It started as a nuts and bolts.
I'm still amazed that some think SS and medicare are entitlements.
Both are deducted from my paycheck.
Had either stayed true to the original legislation. We would have cut out most of this discussion.
The government has never met their obligation, and the government has robbed the SS and medicare fund for years.
People, health organizations, etc have raped the SS and medicare systems on the private side.
Its my money and I want it back!!
The original post is, why should people getting welfare from the government teat, not have to go through drug testing like those of us in the private sector to maintain our jobs.
The most stupid reply is "change your job to maintain your freedom"
Ok, I'm going to give up a job that pays REALLY well, and flip burgers so I don't have to be tested and still use drugs? Stupid answer.
Like another poster, I was on the Gov teat, and was drug tested in a combat zone. Why not? The life of the soldier next to me may be the answer.
Drug/alcohol testing of those on welfare may prevent some child abuse if they are sober. They might want to take care of their kids? We constantly have news reports of people drugged/drunk that can't take care of their kids, unknowingly letting the 2 year old wander the street in a soiled diaper, while in their drug/alcohol induced stupor, or leaving their kids in a hot car while going into a bar or strip club.
Going back to commodities as one posted, would really benefit the farm people that produce them if it were actually bought from US producers, and not imported. I suspect a renewal of that program would result in imported commodities.
Back in the day when you went to the office and got your commodities, it contained real cheese, real oatmeal, and lots of healthy food.
The druggies/alkies in that same day sold them to buy drugs/alcohol, so that is not the answer.
What is the answer?
To reply to another poster.....Yes most of us read the whole thread.
