Why not drug test all welfare bums?

Thank you Florida, Kentucky, and Missouri, which are the first states that will require drug testing when applying for welfare. Some people are crying and calling this unconstitutional. How is this unconstitutional???? It's OK to drug test people who work for their money, but not for those who don't?… I'd like to see this done in all 50 states!!!!!

This, of course includes all the banksters and auto company executives that received "bailouts" of our tax dollars.

    This is a great idea.

    Nicotine should be checked for also.

    If you have cash to smoke you should have cash to feed yourself.

    because it costs more to test them.

    In florida they found 2% of applicants tested positive. The amount of money saved by cutting off the 2% is less than it cost to test the other 98%.

    Every time drug testing is done for welfare the results have been the same.
