Like many folks in this state, I have a job. I work they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who do not have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Please understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their BUTT, doing drugs, while I work. . . . Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check?.......Stuart

Unfortunatley the state doesnt wanna pay the millions it would cost to hire a company to do these urine tests, cause they'd rather spend that millions on a toilet seat....

i think that is a awesome idea....only if they are alcoholics would be hard to deny them since its legal and they are sitting on their ass and not drinking on the joblaugh

Could you imagine how much money they would save if they made people look for work like the rest of us. Hmm.

What makes you think that they are sitting on their butt?

People on welfare are usually women with children.

I think we all know who I am talking about, And if you don't think there are people getting hand out's that don't need it and are more than capable of working take a look around you

Hmmmmmmmmm was my first thought along with anger, Then I took a deep
Breath and here it goes,

I receive assistance with Medical and food stamps I am recovering from an illness
And have to look for work in order to receive my benefits I also have to attend
Work shops to better my skills In order to continue receiving benefits

Yes the system sucks and continues to go into a down hill spiral fall,
I have however petitioned my local government parties in hopes that
In the future testing will be done and those who need time to heal can
Have that time without having to jumps through loops,

Write your City officials
Petition for change
Better yet come up with a non-profit that will step in and drug test
Sad to say we sometimes have to set the plan in pencil before
Someone will say,, Hmmmmmm that might work,,

The people receiving welfare that don't qualify for it are the minority.

Or relied on family,, I remember growing up and when illness struck or hard times hit the family pulled together,

My family is gone other than my children so I turned to public assistance
