How come politicians and others demand that welfare and unemployment recipients get drug tested but.....?

don't demand that bankers who receive bailouts get drug tested?

oil companies who receive subsidies get drug tested?

medicare and ss recipients don't get drug tested?

rich people in poor nations don't get drug tested?(that is where foreign aid goes)

I could go on with this but I find it disturbing that people demand that welfare and unemployment recipients be drug tested. It as if they are being characterized as being lazy and drug users when we all know that NOT EVERYONE who receives handouts is. Drug testing is ineffective because you are only going to catch pot users(not a big deal) because other drugs clear the system after a day.

Why wasn't anyone demanding that bankers be drug tested? TARP was no doubt a handout and billions of this tax payer money went enormous bonuses instead of what it should have been used for: liquidate balance sheets and unfreeze credit markets.

WELFARE IS WELFARE AND HANDOUTS ARE HANDOUTS NO MATTER WHO IT GOES TO(rich, poor, etc.)
