Drug testing might make sense. But what’s your plan for when they test positive?
Are you going to send them to Rehab and try to break their addiction? Or are you going to just cut them off of food stamps and just let them starve?
Cut them off and let them retest in a month.
Why can’t anything be expected of them? Government places restrictions - literally thousands - of restrictions on what people can and cannot do with government money.
I see zero difference. They are the ones wanting to contract with the government for free benefits.
