I feel like there should be a "somewhat disagree" option as there is a "somewhat agree" option on the questions.

Saw this piece this morning and thought it appropriate;Texas advances bill to require drug screening for welfare
There's also a poll at www.msn.com.Quote:
Texas lawmakers moved forward with a bill Tuesday that would require welfare applicants to be screened for drug use.
The bill authored by State Senator Jane Nelson, the Republican chairwoman of the committee, was approved by the state senate’s Health and Human Services Committee.
It would require applicants to the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program to undergo screening by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission.
Under Nelson’s bill, applicants who appear to use drug or have been convicted for drug use will be subjected to testing. Applicants who test positive for drugs would be barred from receiving TANF funds for 12 months.
“Drug abuse destroys families, harms children and prevents individuals from living healthy, independent lives,” Nelson said in a press release on Tuesday. “Because TANF is a direct cash assistance program, we have a responsibility to ensure that these funds are not being used to support a person’s drug habit.”
Texas Governor Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst have thrown their support behind the bill.
“Texas taxpayers will not subsidize or tolerate illegal drug abuse,” Perry said in a statement in November. “Every dollar that goes to someone who uses it inappropriately is a dollar that can’t go to a Texan who needs it for housing, child care or medicine.”
One hundred thousand Texans a year are enrolled in TANF, according to Nelson’s office.
The bill will go to the Texas House of Representatives if it passes a vote in the full Senate.

Thanks for posting the results. It looks like the demographics are a bit skewed but still the results I expected.
Interesting, thanks.
I agree with Leif, very interesting. Thank you so much for sharing the results.
I'm also interested in what summation your wife provided to the paper she wrote based off of this survey. Any chance we could see that?
Done. Would love to see what this is going towards...
i for one would rather see the money there wasting on drug testing being used for job training etc......
Possibly, I'd have to ask, it's not written yet. Think it's going to focus on the financial side of implementing these types of programs, not sure how the survey even fits in other than a survey was required.Quote:

I would imagine many of the responses were also from this site which throws the results off even more.
Obviously just throwing a survey monkey out there and asking for responses its hard to get a widely varied demographic - but I think this shows, as expected, conservative educated white males are very strongly for reducing the dependence on the welfare system.
