Why is it that gainfully employed people must take drug tests in order to get and maintain most good jobs, and welfare recipients don't have to and yet they sit around and get our free money?
Wouldn't it behoove our system to drug-test the recipients before handing out monthly checks? It may cost more initially, but in the long run, we'd probably save tons of tax payers' money.
Why the double standard?
I heard this question in the news lately, but I'm curious to see what more people think and why.
Thank you.

Wow...you have one of the BEST statements that I heard on here. I never thought about that before, but you are totally right. I have been getting upset with a few welfare recipients starting trouble with the working people, and I'm thinking to myself that it's the working people thats giving them their checks, so they should almost worship the ground we walk on. I will take your opinion and spread it to others as well. I don't mine helping people that need it, but the ones I have known here lately has gotten under my SKIN! Thank You for new insight!!! I thought that they could work for the community, but to drug test them is a much better way to go. Thanks.
