Denying benefits isn't saving money. So you have drug tests to catch people taking drugs then you use the money you no longer give them to pay for more drug tests. Does that make sense?
You know, it's not all bad people who get addicted to drugs. It happens to everybody across all races and socioeconomic lines.
But why don't we drug test everybody. If you call the fire department and they save your house from burning down you get a drug test. If you fail they send you a bill for saving your house. All government assistance should have a drug test attached to it. Or is just the government assistance you happen to be lucky enough not too need?
It makes no sense and has no benefit to push people near the bottom of our society even lower. Nobody wins and it widens the divide between the haves and the have-nots.
