Drug tests are easy to cheat. Cost more to test than welfare payments. Already a failure just like most things Obama put in place

YES.

The largest drug testing center in Louisiana is probably the BP Heliport in Houma.

You give up rights when you take a paycheck. I get drug tested at work and have to shave. I do it for a paycheck.

They should also have to have in home check ups to ensure their children are getting proper.guidance for school work etc.

I'm not interested in finding yet another way to let government take my tax dollars and squander them on a half working system to test.

That shite would be pricy. And you would be surprised at how low the percentage is that smoke weed.

Make welfare have a time limit for able bodied people.

i think it's fair. Their leaders will convince them it's racist though. And not appearing racist in todays PC society is more important than improving their lives

Don't care about the drug use, just suspend their voting rights while they're on entitlements.

All of this. While I think it should be, it's costly, inefficient, and easily cheated. Right now, we have too many on welfare for it to be viable.

Better vetting and time limits for the able bodied is what we need. I'd be on board with welfare card purchase restrictions, but that's more of a state issue.

I think they should as well, would wipe out nearly 75-80% of recipients
