Hey Tom, why don't we just test everyone and get it over with?

Or, at the very least, make it requirement before you collect your next Social Security check.  After all, Social Security IS welfare.

Why wouldn't we drug test anyone on welfare? They will have to take a drug test as pre-employment requirements in most jobs they apply for. Might as well get them closer to reality sooner.....test them while we're giving them money from us guys that are working. My prediction is if you drug tested all of them there wouldn't be anyone on TANF. Most of them wouldn't take a job if you offered it to them. That should be the first criteria. Offer them jobs working for the county or local municipalities. If they can't do that then let them go pick up bottles and cans beside the road. This bleeding heart liberal BS has got to stop. Cudos to Lepage for having the gonads to at least braoch the subject.

Maine DHHS says it's ready to drug test TANF applicants

AUGUSTA — Republican Gov. Paul LePage's administration has the green light to begin drug testing some welfare applicants.

A spokesman for Attorney General Janet Mills said Tuesday that her office has given final approval to the governor's proposed rule and submitted it to the secretary of state's office.

BTW...LeBuffoon is only testing convicted felons who happen to be receiving assistance (a micro %) which the big, bad government can do whether they are receiving assistance or not.

This is just more pandering on the part of LeBuffoon to make his ignorant base feel good.

But, never underestimate the power of stupidity.

Hey Tom, get off your fat ass and research what Governor Scott did in Florida with his welfare drug testing.  

You might learn something.  

Then again, probably not.
