Hell - I'd even prefer well run orphanages where kids were raised with respect and taught self-reliance to leaving them in a dope oriented, bad home environment where all they really learn is how to scam 'the system' and are taught by observation that they are not responsible for anything, should expect everyone to cater to their juvenile demands, eschew education and hard work.
This is what was tried all over the communist bloc and it failed miserably. I don't trust the gov't to do this. The foster program is seriously flawed but its better than orphanages.
What is crazy is how hard it is to become a foster parent. My wife and I initiated the process but they said it would take 18 months to 2 years to get into the program. So we pulled out.
As for drug testing welfare recipients, its a gigantic waste of money. Urine drug tests are very easy to beat, unless you do strict monitoring of them (i.e. stand in the room while they pay).
Blood tests/hair tests are much better but they are even more expensive.
This is just a throw away to the base IMHO.
Final thing, if they test SNAP recipients, they really should test all transfer payment recipients - medicaid, housing, social security and medicare.

I would love to see the optics on all of this. testing the majority kids and elderly....I wonder if people know that right now the biggest growth in Medicaid is for minor children of working class families making under 75K gross. Yes, by all means test the 75 year old woman who was a stay at home mom and lives off her late husband's Social Security.
