Tennessee has a bill running that allows for a second test before benefits are stopped. A warning if you will. A second failure results in a one year suspension of benefits. They can then re-apply with a test to ensue after one year.
A good start, but since they are a drag on the tax dollar they should have some harsh conditions of life till they get back to work.
Problem is (at least in California by me) the great society benefits are so high that unless they get a starting job paying 50k a year, they will have no reason to get off the dole.
The great society safety nets have to be so tight that looking at a minimum wage job becomes a great option and until life on the dole isn’t that harsh, you are going to have tons of people dying on that dole from old age.
Cradle to grave baby!
