Don't see how it's an invasion of privacy...they are not forced or need to take the welfare benefits. They have an option! No government boogie man is knocking on my door asking me to pee in a cup. yet

"I'd rather be a disabled Vet, than no Vet at all"
I seem to remember seeing that they tried this somewhere else and the amount of people that came up hot was incredibly low-basically not nearly as many people on welfare are on illegal substances as you would think.
http://time.com/3117361/welfare-reci...-drug-testing/But in Tennessee, where drug testing was enacted for welfare recipients last month, only one person in the 800 who applied for help tested positive. In Florida, during the four months the state tested for drug use, only 2.6% of applicants tested positive. Meanwhile, Florida has an illegal drug use rate of 8%,meaning far fewer people on services are using drugs than their better-off counterparts.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's a great idea and all, it's just that the whole "EVERYONE'S ON DRUGS!!!!" stigma is a little...overdone?

Just call me 47
Another thing I would like to see is something along the lines of, "If your paying for groceries with food stamps and I see you drive away in a $50K Escalade your going to lose your privileges".
How about this: We "pay" you a welfare check to not commit crimes and look for work, and have a drug test as a condition of employment. We also tax your "paycheck". You can always find a better job if you don't like your privacy being invaded. That's the problem with entitlements...you are entitled to them. Job and a paycheck imply responsibility and accountability.
Wish the agencies would just create a app for that. As a pharmacist I have seen so many doctor shoppers and there is no easy way to bring this to the attention of the authorities. I did send info over to the DEA for one patient and they did nothing. I sill look up that person's profile and see them visiting multiple ER's on a weekly basis getting narcotics at different pharmacies. (We have access to the state database for review of controlled medications). If the DEA can't fine anyone they don't want to hassle with some looser gaming the system.
