It would not cost $40 per person if the state had a nurse to a lab tech set up for each county....Most people who do drugs and know that they will not pass it may not even take the test. Also, once someone fails, they should not be able to apply again for another 5 years. This would stop all those who have children just to get more.

Become a bum and go on welfare! Your problem SOLVED!

Actually we should test not only the Welfare recipients but ALSO ALL GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, EMPLOYEES, AND THEIR FAMILIES!!

Let your kids use drugs? YOU LOSE YOUR GOVERNMENT JOB!!

PERIOD!!

You work for the government but your Wife has a bit of a Cocaine Habit? YOU LOSE YOUR GOVERNMENT JOB!!

You work for the government and your dependent kid has a bit of a Marijuana Problem? YOU LOSE YOUR GOVERNMENT JOB!!

*** IF YOU suck of the Public Tit in any way shape or form (welfare, job, military pension, government pension) then EVERYBODY in the household who you are supporting WITH GOVERNMENT MONEY should be tested, and YOU LOSE YOUR GOVERNMENT PAYMENTS if they test positive!!


With so many working for the government anymore that would quickly bring our nation's drug problem under control, and would also get rid of a lot of the excess number of government employees/pensioniers that we are currently paying with our tax money!!

for one, you choose to work at a company that does not respect its employees.

Second unemployment and welfare is insurance.


Third, please don't give into the fairness doctrine. You are being unfairly taxed to begin with.

We were born and we didn't choose this government or its fucking laws.

Lets make you take a drug test like a slave when you get into a car wreck. That industry is gov funded. Hey lets make you take a drug test when you go to the doctor for anything.

That way we can deny you services if you are on un approved drugs.

Its time to unleash freedom and your philosophy is not welcome in the new world.

Supposing an applicant takes the drug test and turns up positive. I am fairly certain that person would first be offered help in the way of detox/rehab before being turned away.

If that person successfully completes required program they would granted benefits under the stipulation that they adhere to some sort of therapy or program.

If they cannot do this they will get nothing. That's pretty much the way it goes now. You can do into D.S.S., tell them you are a drug addict and they will pay for your rehab.

I've known a couple of people that use rehabs like they have revolving doors. I guarantee you if you walked into the Department of Social Services right now you'll see a few people nodding.

Well, as an employer I don't want to hire people who use illegal drugs for a number of reasons. You have a constitutional right to not pursue employment at my business and may look for work elsewhere. Your choice.

If you can't figure out who is using illegal drugs during an interview...I am not sure what to say...you probably aren't very perceptive.

I am extremely sorry about your disease and feel for you. What we have to remember though is that marijuana isn't the ONLY drug that comes from a plant in the ground: "Cocaine is extracted from the leaves of the Erythroxylum (coca) bush, which grows on the slopes of the Andes Mountains in South America." The effects of cocaine are far different from those of marijuana. People have abused the system for long in so many regards that people like yourself that need it unfortunately have to suffer. :(

The Poorasites are privileged. That is why.

Poorasites are job security to their government enablers. Drug testing would disqualify over half of the Poorasites from their handouts. Drug use is a huge reason for poverty, as people spend their disposable income on drugs, then have none left over for essentials.

Enter their government. The enablers tax the producers to pay for the Poorasites existence. This gives the enablers job security.

Um...if you're taking a drug test as to BEGIN a job, then, that means that you've been unemployed as well. Weren't OUR tax dollars supporting YOU while you were OUT OF WORK yourself???

Secondly, the only reason you'd be pissed is if you've been on drugs and you know it will affect you and your intake. And, you were taking these drugs WHILE UNEMPLOYED...RIGHT? How were you PAYING for those drugs???

Don't be stupid...anyone with intelligence can spot your nonsense from miles away.

It is your employers choice, and you have many different employers to choose from.

Those on welfare are being given government assistance. They do not have a choice as to which government. They are also not employed by the government, so there is no liability.

A fix to this would be to make the government liable for felony acts committed by those they assist as public monies would be used either directly or indirectly in the commission of a felony.

That is not likely as it would be too expensive.

Re: I have to take a drug test to get a job! So why dont the bums sucking off my taxes have to take a drug test to get thier welfare?
one day i was walking in the city(NYC) behind 2 VERY well dressed men,Expensive briefcases in hand,chatting a bit loudly(boastfully)of their financial exploits.The air behind them was intensely perfumed with an intoxicating 'herb'.Have you ever heard of corporate welfare?Do you know the proportion of personal welfare to corporate? I always hear your comment but when i ask my ? noone seems to want to consider it.The wealthy corporate types have always been so indulgent of drugs.Go down to Wall st. on a nice summer day & the places they hang out & start passing out drug tests.Weed & white powder."4getaboutit".Then they get to go back up to work & screw you & the whole country royally.Get a real education dude. You mean,looking around,you can't see who is really 'sucking'off your 'taxes'.You are worried about a few pennies.This is a carefully crafted political conversation to decieve you.That is what the meaning of politic is- to decieve.Joseph Stalin said,"It is easy to get people to do exactly what you want.Just keep them in fear".And that,unfortunately,seems to be an easy thing to do too.Let the Leaders point their finger @ some new enemy.Divide & conquer. LEMMINGS! This is a 'secRAT the 'movers & shakers' know.I feel shook up.Do you? I am suggesting you check out alternative sourses of info If we all don't,we're sunk;almost literally are now.But 1st we must have a much more expansive conversation about what is REALLY going on. Is everyone on welfare a bum? Or a druggie? There are so many issues to be raised here. I do not condone drugs(or drink)but i understand human nature.Would you be willing to sit & have an actual conscious conversation w/someone (nonreactively)?Actually listen to & consider the possibility of another perspective? This is very important in so many ways- to ~ WAKE UP! ~
