    I have to take random drug tests, why not those who receive assistance? It may hurt a few, but the outcome may help -- I pray that your heart will move you.

    I am a single mother working 2 jobs....and still have nothing left after paying my bills. I do recieve food stamp assistance. But I don't feel it's right that people who are lazy strung out on dope don't wanna get a job are living off my tax money...if I can do it so can they...I feel there are good people who do deserve govt. assistance....that don't get it...

    I pay into our Social Security Tax for me, as it was intended to do, for us, when WE RETIRE. Not someone that does not want to work to take my money I put into it. For me. That is my money for my retirement.

    Something needs to change with the Federal Assistance Programs, please. I went to apply for aid for school or health assistance and could not receive any because I am not pregnant, deaf or blind and was told that I "fall between the crack". This is not right for a student trying to do right and can't get any help.

    Would it be nice to drive a $50,000 vehicle and sit around smoking dope all day living of the taxpayer. Hold on, it's happening all over the place. Get out of the suburbs and take a walk in the inner cities and trailer parks.

    I am a nurse. I see abuse of the system everyday. Medicaid patients driving SUVs and Hummers and people begging for med samples but yet can afford a 2 pack a day cigarrette habit. Something has to change! And stop giving free stuff and benefits to Illegals. That is just ridiculous!

    IT IS ONLY FAIR IF YOU HAVE TO PASS A DRUG TEST TO WORK, YOU SHOULD HAVE TO PASS ONE TO DRAW WELFARE.

    As I have had to take drug tests in order to obtain my job...which pays taxes into the system that is in return doled out to welfare recipients, it is only fair that the reciprocal (i.e. drug tests) take place for those which do not work and do not contribute to the "common wealth" through taxes. The "Drug Free Workplace Act of 1988" should be enforced for all who pay into AND receive from the tax system.
