Do you agree with drug testing those receiving state assistance?

    I totally agree! This is long overdue. I used to work for DHS in the TANF program and saw the issues. Those hiding a drug problem need to face it if they expect the State to provide their basic necessities. The whole point of temporary assistance is to help people help themselves for a short time period, it's not as a lifestyle.

    Everyone receiving state aid should be tested prior to receiving and quarterly thereafter. Anymore you have to pass a drug test to get a job so why not to get free money from those who are working to pay for it. Now that's equality. Also there should be restrictions as to where food stamps, etc can be spent. Should not be allowed to spend for "junk food" at high priced convenience stores and such. Costs twice as much and hardly any nutrition value to pop, packaged donuts, chips and candy. See it everyday.

    I think they should test to get any state of federal aid! You can't make a difference in one place! Anyone that works for the state should be tested too!!
