No. We shouldn’t have government welfare or welfare recipients. If private charities want to drug-test the recipients of charity, they should be able to.

Yup. I work with people who think they pay income taxes, even if they get it all back at tax filing time

That’s amazingly sane, and to the point. And succinct, too.

You should either be running for office, or else “asking your doctor if Tambien is right for you”. I’m not sure which. :-)

“No. We shouldn’t have government welfare or welfare recipients. If private charities want to drug-test the recipients of charity, they should be able to.”

But we DO currently have welfare - so the question asks if those current welfare recipients (and future ones until such time as it no longer exists) should be drug tested.

By saying “no”, it puts you in a category of those who simply think welfare recipients should be left alone with no accountability strings attached.
