Require drug tests for Welfare clients

Welfare is the provision of a minimal level of well-being and social support for all citizens that is usually provided by the government. In the United States of America, Welfare is provided by the government, and tax dollars. Data from the 1995 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) indicated that drug use is 50% more common in households with welfare recipients than in nonwelfare households. There should be drug testing for welfare recipients because drug testing will reveal recipients who are wasting taxpayers' money on drugs, drug testing will require recipients to stay free of drug use (making them more employable), and passing the bill could minimize the purchase of illegal drugs, making the crime rate go down across America.
