Thread Name: BS: Drug test needed to get welfare checks
Subject: RE: BS: Drug test needed to get welfare checks
Wesley, if the issue is tax payer dollars, a just solution would be to require every person in the country to be drug-tested and barred from any action, activity, or benefit funded by tax dollars.

That basically means anyone with a positive drug screen is not allowed to breath.

It is a stupid, ineffective law or regulation that will serve no purpose other than to continue to foster a sense of moral superiority on the part of certain haves over the have nots.

Reminds me also of the North Carolina Eugenics board, for those who have been following the news on the North Carolina task force.

Also is another inexorable step toward Big Brother, a place to which we are already dangerously close. We might, unwittingly, already be there.
