Absolutely - when you stick your hand out for a welfare check you should be subject to scrutiny as to why your hind end isn't at a job like the rest of the population.
I think we need to spend less time worrying about those who WON'T work (don't give me the "no jobs out there line" - there are jobs if one is willing to get off their backside and look) and worry more about our working class poor who DO work but still cannot make ends meet.......at least these people are meeting the mark half way!

No. Not all jobs require drug test. I would not agree to it. That problem is being fixed with the new type debit cards. You have make nearly nothing to get food stamps. Technically, the do take a drug test when apply for Medicaid. You want more homeless on the street? At least the kids have a home. The food stamp card in not a Visa or MasterCard debit card.

I think so if the poor are spending the money on drugs they dont need the habit paid for by the gov. but at the same time a person is affected by their surroundings and drugs are hard to quit.

Should library patrons be required to pass a drug screen before checking out books?

Sure! If you have the money for drugs, then you don't need it for food/other support. People falsly claiming welfare prevent people who are unfortunate enough to need it from getting it. How pathetic!

I think anybody who gets a lazy check should be randomly checked 4-8 times per month.

Yes and that includes alcohol and tobacco too. If you are so poor you can't make it on your own you don't have the money for such luxuries.

Yes, and I would also agree with checking on the alcohol and cigarettes too.
