Well, since you have to pass a drug test to get a job these days, I’d imagine it is not only appropriate, but an absolute necessity!
Worthless gesture because a judge will toss it out.
What he needs to do is make people re-apply every year. Same thing we should do with Disability.
Prove to me that you still need this.
A condition of employment for myself is random drug tests. This should be a no brainer.
We got a law like that passed in Florida but a judge overruled the will of the legislature.
So you have to get a drug test to work at Wally World of Mickie d’ but to require it to get money from me via the state just really sucks

What would Michael Brown think of this?
Great battle starting in the WaPo comments section. Like this one if you feel inclined, and it will stay near the top.
“This is a great idea. As a a physician, I constantly see substance abusers ending up in the hospital and when asked how they get their money (for drugs or anything else), they tell me “I’m on disability”. Tax-payer dollars are going to drug dealers folks. It’s called diversion and it’s just as bad as selling one’s Rx meds for cash. If someone wants to use, they can do it on their own dime, not the tax-payers.”
I’d make them report for road, ditch, creek, etc. clean up and if they don’t show, you dock the amount they get.
The primary reason that leftists require that all charity be through the gov’t is that there will be no requirements placed on the recipients.
Historically, this is proven out.
Private charities will inherently have limited resources,
and some sort of criteria will inevitably be introduced.
And the left fears that such criteria might be aligned with Christian values.
Rick Scott tried that in Florida. Some moron court struck it down.
Just as long as government employees are required too.
I’d drug test voters too.
Hmmmmm...do Federal employees have to pass a pre-employment drug test? Are Federal employees subject to random drug testing?

In my EMS experience in New Haven our OD’s are mostly welfare recipients. We had one yesterday. She was a “dreamer” enjoying her sanctuary city protected status along with some bad H ... until we chafed her buzz with narcan. She’s lucky to be alive today. All at taxpayer expense.
Walker doesn’t FOOL ME. I want DRUG ABUSERS to get their goodies from government...yep, that’s what I want.
if you have to pass drug tests to work you should have to forbenefits not to work. fairness, yes? if the people paying for others bennies have to, the recipients should.
don't get me wrong, I'm a strong believer that only idiots abuse drugs. I just have strong beliefs regarding government snooping around in a citizens personal business and I draw a hard line on that.
It would be much more effective if they spent a little more money on fraud investigation and did a serious crack down on that.
Can we start with Obama since he is also getting federal money?
