If It Is Customary to Pass a Drug Test to Get a Job, Shouldn’t You Need to Pass One to Collect SSI or Welfare?

Or even Unemployment Benefits? Would this not help with the situations in the low income areas affected by Drug addiction?

Drugs breed laziness. Why should I be forced to pass prove my sobriety if someone on Section 8 does not? And they get free rent, have kids, and are not required to work.

I know times are hard and it’s tough to get a job. I am IN FAVOR of these programs, I just think you should prove sobriety to obtain or keep them.
justan….

you are wrong twice. i know two section 8 people. neither has worked in years. she just gets a temp job for 3 days then gets back qualified, quits and exploits the system, and she is high as a kite all day. also, i am not a conservative.

alchohol is not illegal. testing for it is not really going to do much. if old folks are on scripts, then they should disclose that. terrible arguments.
