If you worked hard for your home and did things the right way and happen to fall on hard times, Welfare will tell you to sell that home before they give you assistance. Your home may be anywhere in value from 40k to 80k. However they have no problem giving food stamps etc to those who have drug habits that reach this amount or better a year and have no problem giving the dealers who deal the drugs Welfare assistance either. I had a young man driving a 30,000 chevy something or another buying his 20oz pops with Food Stamps. I worked two jobs at the time and this boy had a wad of money on him that made both my paychecks look feeble in comparison. Why does he have a food stamp card? I am neither Democrat or Republican in this, it is commonsense that American tax dollars should not be funding drug users or dealers.REPORT COMMENTS

Why aren't they doing this in the first place?!?!?!? Every J-O-B I have ever had, I have had to pass a drug test (with no complaints), and thats the way it should be. Why wouldn't one have to pass a drug test to receive money that the taxpayer had to pass a drug test in order to pay into the system in the first place?!?! If this doesnt pass, we should rename the Welfare system to "Nation Meth Fund", that way the name better represents what most of our tax dollars are paying for in the public aide fund...REPORT COMMENTS

Anytime a person applies for a job. He or she has to get a drug test before they will be hired. Getting government benefits should be based on being drug free. Something is seriously wrong with our system of government.REPORT COMMENTS

I believe that if working Americans have to submit to drug testing, the unemployed asking for government benefits should have to also.REPORT COMMENTS

Setting aside all the stereotypes, this is the right thing to do. By providing unemployment benefits to substance abusers we are subsidizing the drug industry. Our tax dollars going to criminal manufacturers, distributors and users of drugs. Seriously how could anyone not be in favor of this?REPORT COMMENTS

In 2005 I was pregnant and lost my job. I was on state assisted insurance and WIC for 6 months until I was able to return to work full time and get off state assistance. That is what welfare is for...temporary help for those you are in need. I witnessed attrociace situations while in line at my local welfare office...pregnant mothers walksing in with 4-5-6 children in two who were carrying orange soda and bags of potato chips. I personally knew of people taking advantage of illegal immigration and Section 8 Housing, while never having a job. It is time something is done about this situation in our country!REPORT COMMENTS
