welfare drug test

[Casper]

I got this random email today. I have no idea who it came from, nor do I recognize anyone it was addressed to. However, it doesn't seem like spam. It seems like a really good fucking idea, so I thought I'd post it up:

Like a lot of folks in this state I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test, with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them?? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do on the other hand have a problem with helping someone sitting on their butt. Could you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?????

Thats a very good point. It would never be enforced though. Drug testing is actually really expensive for one, and also very time consuming. The govt would much rather just give them money than waste time in testing people. Just my opinion tho...

I have seen this too, but a poor solution for the same reasons listed above, too hard to enforce, unreliable, and expensive. (amusing though, really makes the rats squirm to mention the possibility of a drug test... hehehhe)

Better yet, get rid of welfare, stop taking the money I earn and giving it to lazy useless trash and set up snipers at the old welfare offices to pick off the ones that don't starve to death on their own. Fucking communists and socialists should all die terribly whilst the rest of us watch, either for amusement or as a cautionary tale.... This, by the way, is my "gentle, not enough coffee to be awake and really honest" point of view on socialism. Wait till about noon and ask me again....

they deff should be drug tested!!!!! Also for all the crackheads they should be able to go get a free giant rock if they get their tubes tied or their nuts cut! All we really have to do is keep the losers from breeding!

Kevin they can actually spot check urine with a dip stick for drug screening. I could be wrong but I don't think that is very expensive. The expensive testing is when they are quantifying it....like how "much" cannabinoids you have in your urine.

I am all for anything that can fix our broken system but I'm not sure how it can be done. Back in the day you could stay on "welfare" indefinitely which is what my mom did from my birth until I was 18. My mom is a completely different woman now but as a child there were more drugs in our house than I want to remember. She wouldn't have passed the testing obviously but if her money would have gotten taken away it would have been my brothers and I suffering. I wish the government could police the system a bit more but I think we just keep putting bandaids on a terminally ill system. Just my 2 cents anyway....;)

They are way too easy to defeat. But I agree, it is a good idea. I just wish druggies had a sign that said, I do drugs. It would make life so much easier.
