    If I'm gonna support something it should not be laziness and drug use. I know Decent people who can't get the help they need, but a drug user/pusher can usually get whatever they want. It's time to end it.

    I think that if it was mandatory to be drug tested if you are on welfare it would cut out alot of welfare abuse and let the families that really need it get it.

    Drug testing must be required. Plus, no more welfare after a year. Special medical cases are different.

    It is way past time for this measure. As a retired court clerk, I could write a book about the abuses!

    Completely agree it's not fair they abuse the system. It should be set up with one main big chain store and their should be a limit on the the kinds of items that they can purchase. Not cigarettes, alcohole, candy, toys and junk food. Things need to change to really help those in need only!!!

    If you are receiving Welfare, then you should be screened for drugs. You should also be directed as to what you can purchase. Too many people use this money to buy cigarettes, alcohol, and expensive items such as large screen televisons, jewelry, or video games. If you truly need Welfare to help get back on your feet, then you shouldn't be concerned with buying such things. Once you earn your own money, then buy what you want. I also think you should be required to perform some sort of community service.

    Most employers want a drug test before a person can start working, Why should welfare reciepents not get a drug test to get free money???
