From an economic standpoint, who cares if people use it to buy drugs. The point of unemployment benefits is to keep that money flowing into the economy. Drug money is eventually used to purchase legitimate goods and services which are taxed.

You are entitled to those unemployment benefits, who cares what you spend it on.

Not to mention, is that really a huge issue anyway. Why the fuck does he even care about a small percentage of people who buy drugs with their unemployment benefits. Most of that money is spent on food and rent I'm sure. The number of people blowing it all on drugs must be less than 1%.

If you give someone a handout, don't expect anything in return.
