Florida governor signs welfare drug-screen measure

I see your viewpoint. How about this angle then...To get welfare, you do not have to provide a service (like you do to get a check from a job). So, if they are getting money for free, why not have some strings attached. What I'm trying to say is, if you want money for free, then you have to show proof you aren't doing something illegal with it.

Excect, that 1) I don't particularly agree with welfare (the cash TANF, anyway. WIC and Medicaid and Section 8 at least are non-cash), except in the most dire of circumstances, and 2) The money would not be used on "illegal" things if prohibition was ended (not saying that that one SHOULD spend the money on drugs, but just pointing out legalization would of course change the classification of what is considered "illegal").

When they go for application of beni's, they'll just pack a condom in their shorts full of someone elses "clean" piss in order to pass the test.

Exactly! I doubt this will make any perceivable difference in how many users are receiving TANF. They'll just find another way to game the system.



In other words, I am Libertarian. Let's mitigate our welfare, and end prohibition. Then B.S. legislation like this is extraneous.

I agree with that.

I thought it already was.....I just came back from Florida last week. I hauled a load of propane down there and man, those people are nuts on the road.

They don't need our tax dollars. Obama can just give them money from his stash.

Can't we just go back to no government welfare instead?

This will never happen. This is what keeps the Dems in office.
