Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker Pushes Drug Testing For Welfare Recipients
"Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker said he would push legislation that would require working-age adults receiving food stamps or unemployment benefits to submit to drug testing."
Also, every elected official and government employee.
“Weeping and gnashing of teeth”
Good call!
The money goes to finance their habit instead of food and rent otherwise. Drug testing should be required for ALL taxpayer-funded benefits.
Oh the horror of it all. Oh the horror.
Where does the country go after dropping lazy pot smoking good for nothing people off the free ride.
Yes, and check for pot and deny all benefits if on pot. Liberal states will $hit their pants.
I just got polled (this last weekend) on this and numerous other items in Trump’s agenda. about a 20 minute phone survey.

...to repeal an Obama-era regulation that limited states’ ability to limit drug testing for people who apply for unemployment benefits.

How ‘bout REMOVING the States’ (AND Feds) ability to trample upon our property Rights (5th) and [economic] indentured servitude (13th) instead?!
WHOLE lot more than ‘2 birds’ w/ that ONE stone...
A wonderful idea, long overdue, which will no doubt be blocked by a Liberal judge ten minutes after the ink dries.
The Feds would have to pay for it, and I suspect it will cost more money than it saves.
Sounds good, but testing for welfare is much more important.
Employers pay into a fund for unemployment benefits. And a person has to have worked for a certain length of time to collect if laid off. Quitting or getting fired for cause does not entitle one to unemployment benefits.
Also, the benefits expire, whereas welfare goes on forever.
I think this is a much lower priority than the welfare side of the coin.
Unemployment benefits are a good start.
Would be interesting to know how many people who are on long term unemployment and have been on multiple times are on unemployment because they can’t pass the whiz quiz.
In my flyover state, you are virtually guaranteed a manufacturing job if you can pass the drug screening.
I would not have any problem passing such a test, But I consider this an extreme invasion of privacy. This is not welfare. This is insurance that was paid for by your Employer. Nothing could be more wrong. But you brave new world types seem to love the idea. What ways do you want to be tested next? No doubt they will extract your DNA while they are at it. You are all like sheep to the slaughter.
Drug testing for welfare recipients needs to start immediately.
You gotta know that’s RACIST!
