This is unconstitutional invasion of the privacy of a citizen who has qualified for and met the standards for supplemental income defined by our county, state and federal laws. No one should meddle in another citizen's personal affairs.

If a recipient has violated the standards, then the behavior is subject to exposure when irregularities fully verified and subject to agency action. That is not a private issue, it is then become a public one.

“Supplemental income”? Uh-huh. Seems legit.

If someone doesn’t want their privacy invaded, they shouldn’t be applying for welfare. Technically, the welfare system shouldn’t even exist at all, being that it steals taxpayer dollars and puts them towards people who do nothing other than vote Democrat.

How is it an invasion of privacy?

This is not private money and the program is voluntary. All disbursements should be subject to close scrutiny by the taxpayers.
Welfare programs may seem personal to the recipient but the fact is that this is public money.

And yes, I do believe all who receive public funds should have to pass drug tests. Taxpayers usually have to pass a drug test to get a job to pay the taxes that fund these programs.

I'm not an anti-welfare person as I know there are many who require our help. That said, the ones who game the system need a flogging.
