    Ya obviously you can expect a drug test now if you supply all your job documents.

    Can you imagine how much money the state would have to pay to regularly test every single welfare recipient? I heard it's something like $27 per test. That would get pricey. I'm sure they would save more than that by canceling the welfare of some drug users, but then you'd have to hire more gov't employees to monitor people, and probably create a whole new division, and they are closed by 4, and Sheila is on vacation so you'll have to come back next week for your drug test. On paper, I completely agree with you. I think to get welfare you should not be allowed to smoke, drink, or do drugs. However, the logistics of it would be prohibitive.
