[QUOTE="okie_gunslinger, post: 1622905, member: 12862"] Despite how we feel about social programs in general, drug testing is an expensive solution to a problem that has been blown out of proportion. Drug abuse by those on welfare isn't anywhere near as bad as some of you would like to believe. The idea that we need to waste thousands of dollars a year going after them is counter productive. As for social programs as a whole, I would agree that they need to be overhauled, but removing them wholesale would be a bad idea. They lend stability to our country as a whole. Even if it's not in the Constition it's still a good idea to have a social safety net that keeps us from falling into the same depths of poverty and crime that we saw in the Great Depression.
