Convince me why drug testing Welfare Applicants is good

BFritz Wrote:I can't believe that no one has brought up these points:

-Welfare- listen to the name and realize that the definition is to provide welfare for its citizens, so when does a citizen need to do drugs to be well? In fact, doesn't doing drugs accomplish the exact opposite?

-Another definition of Welfare is to give financial aid to support citizens who cannot support themselves to live, so drugs aren't needed to support to live, are they?

-Again, listen to the name and see that it's "Wel"fare, not "Usethemoneytobreakthelawandcheattaxpayers"fare

I don't exactly know how to fix the system because, like people said, drugs are out of the system in time, so, even with someone watching people pee, it's not full-proof. The food stamps and things like that would be a good idea except I can see people trading those for the drugs, or, worse yet, renting their wives or, God forbid, even their daughters to do favors for the drugs.

The only way I could see it possibly working would be to require people to save receipts so they could prove where every dollar goes, but that won't happen.
As we have brought up, unless you are watching the pee come out of their junk, or taking hair samples, you can't catch them.
