I work in the natural gas industry. It is REQUIRED by the US Department of Transportation, Gas Pipeline Safety division, that ANYONE WORKING on a natural gas pipeline MUST be drug tested. No my company's policy, a FEDERAL requirement. They don't want someone coming to work high working on a gas line, either welding, pipe fiting, etc. Makes perfect sense. This also includes alcohol in the system with random tests. Anyone drinking on the job or that morning before the job is fired on the spot.
Now if someone is going to USE MY TAX MONEY for welfare or unemployment, I think they MUST pass a drug test to get my money. Too many freeloaders already. Unless you have worked with them, been around them, or was raised with them, then it isn't all BLACK, but WHITE TRASH also who freeloads. They have free education through high school, can get Pell Grants for college or trade school. There is no excuse for people to continue in poverty. I have seen over and over people paying for food with a food stamp card and putting their groceries in a Lexus, Lincoln, or other luxury car, late model too. They were also driving. What is it with that. We should go back to commodities and maybe give them MRE's like the military. It would probably save us a lot of welfare money.
Same can be said for Abortion. There is no excuse for an unwanted pregnancy. Free birth control at the health centers, free condoms, etc. I also think after two kids on welfare, the mom should have her tubes tied. There is a procedure now with clips that can be removed and the ability to get pregnant restored IF she gets off welfare and gets a normal life.
I personally am tired of "spreading the wealth around". Grow the stupid economy so all boats rise with the tide. Our government is going to bankrupt itself within 4 years if we don't get spending under control. No amount of tax on the wealthy will solve the problem. We will either have hyper inflation or a colapsed Federal government. Then there will be on food stamps, no welfare, and no military to defend us.
