The welfare system was supposed to be a way to help those in need become independent and get through a rough patch in their life. If employers can drug test any possible applicant, then how can we teach people to become better candidates for jobs if we allow them to use drugs?
Yes simply saying to drug test applicants.. if you are not clean we "won't give you benefits" would not work. I am saying, yes, drug test welfare applicants and recipients and create a set of guidelines they need to follow. We should not be allowing people to continue to live without self-responsibility and restraint.
By allowing this way of life to happen we are only continuing to let people destroy their families. Families is the key word. Most recipients are families with children. How is it fair to that child?
