Should Welfare Recipients be Tested for Tobacco and Alcohol?
I have been hearing a lot lately about how folks think welfare recipients should be drug tested before they can continue to get their so-called hand outs.
The supposed logic here is that if folks can afford to use drugs they shouldn't get assistance. OK, lets follow that logic on a bit and see where it goes...
