As the economy continues to deteriorate and more people line up for government assistance, many states are considering drug tests for welfare/public assistance recipients. See:

Do you agree? If you receive welfare, you should be subject to RANDOM drug testing?
Con: This effectively criminalizes the poor and discourages those who need the help the most. Also, why not drug testing for CORPORATE recipients of taxpayer money--that's welfare too, on a grander scale.
Pro: You can't live in a nanny state without the nanny encroaching into your personal life. You want to remain free, be responsible.
What do you guys think?
