Drug testing for Welfare payments

[doctorjj]

who pays for insitutionalizing the kids? besides, you know what happens to a lot of those kids in the system...

The money saved from not paying all the drug users in the system will easily cover the cost of caring for the kids.

Nothing personal - but when you put +2 on your taxes - you are part of the system. Should anyone with tax deductions pee in a cup too?

When you put that plus 2, at the end ofthe day, are you paying taxes or getting back more than you paid in? I need to know in order to get my response correct.

Bad bad things happen to those kids.

IIRC, It doesn't cover all welfare recipients, only certain ones/ types of recipiants. Maybe it's changed since I looked at the draft a month ago.

I'm in favor of all recipients of Gov't assistance having to comply with the same rules that I must adhere to, in order to continue to work and pay for their benefits. fair is fair.

No! You have to keep working your butt off, getting your privacy invaded by your employer yearly and/or randomly, so you can keep making enough money for your own family and for the pood downtrodden family down the street who only has enough to barely pay for their section 8 housing, their food, all their PS3 and X-box games, their liquor, beer and weed and their car that's nicer and newer than yours. Without you, how else would they survive??

Assuming a minimum wage income, I believe you would net a greater refund than your table-assigned tax obligation, with EIC and a tuition income credit.

Considering the lion's share of drug users obtain and/or abuse legal prescription medication and other drugs clean outta' yer system fast enough to beat a drug test (except weed)....I really don't see it as a win-win.

Because some of us have an opposition to government-mandated prohibition, that's why.

You don't have to worry about it if you are not attached to the governments tit !

Many jobs, including degreed goverment jobs, do not require drug testing. Just FYI, Unsafe.

What if Soonercare pays for my opiates addiction, and my tax return advance buys my PS3?

No drug tests required. This whole idea, as JP alluded to, is an ineffectual publicity stunt by the conservative politicians.
