So you are for states to spend MORE on testing for welfare recipients?

IIRC, many of those receiving "bailouts" were forced to do so against their will. So, does the OP agree that all of Congress, SCOTUS, and the executive branch POTUS and cabinet/czars, anyone receiveing a government paycheck in any form, should also be subjected to mandatory drug tests prior to requiring mandatory drug tests in the private sector?

If they are going to do it to the poor and unemployed, then by all means recipients of corporate welfare should have to comply to the same laws!

I think all people who receive assistance from the taxpayers, whether they be people or corporations (including companies that get government contracts), should be drug tested. Actually, the first people we should drug test should be the POLITICIANS!! We might be surprised at the results!

Only if you've never watched C-Span. Some of our elected representatives have been partaking in mind altering substances, not doubt about it. They should be forced to exhale into a breathalizer before casting any and every vote as a starter. The President should be tested regularly as well.

Not only that but the Democrats also thrive on the victim class. If victimhood wasn't a part of politics, I'm willing to bet at most, 10% of the population would vote for Democrats, and those would be the hardcore liberal Pelosi-type crowd

Willing to bet that you wont find very many highly successful CEO's who are on drugs but you will find a high percent of loser bums sucking off the rest of us having drugs in their system.

End welfare for everyone and make losers earn their keep.
Since when are you "we all"? I think you are the first one who ought to be tested because I want to know just what you're taking! I'd love to get my hands on some of that so I could walk through the days of my life with the kind of delusional self-absorption you seem to be displaying here.
