Drug testing for welfare, food stamp recipients?

[Rabshoole]

Florida has a new requirement for people on welfare.

Beginning July first, anyone applying for welfare must undergo drug testing.

Florida Gov. Rick Scott told CNN that people who receive state benefits should be drug free.

“Our taxpayers are not interested in subsidizing drug addiction," Scott said. "It is no different than if you apply for a job they're not saying you use drugs, they're just saying in that work environment they don't want you to use drugs. In this case we do not want to subsidize drug addiction. We want to give everybody an increased incentive not to use drugs. It is better for our families and for the individual and it doesn't waste taxpayer money.”

Under the new law, welfare recipients must pay for their own drug screening.

If they pass, their money will be refunded. The American Civil Liberties Union may challenge the law.

Action 4 News checked with the Texas Legislature, there are no bills filed to drug test welfare or Food Stamp recipients in the Lone Star State.

But with the legislature headed into a emergency session for the budget, one could be introduced or filed if it relates to the budget.

You guys think it's fair ? where do you stand with this. Sooner or later this law will be approved all over the States, Florida just so happens to be the first to make it offical.

How much is the screening? If someone can't afford food how will they afford the test, even if it will be reimbursed?

Basra, Good point, if your getting any kind of government support, you should be competent enough to piss clean

BV, Here in the United States the mass public who are consuming food stamps neglect it considerably for the simple fact, a lot of them have jobs and get paid under the table, without the government knowing about it. I believe if you’re on Food stamps you shouldn't be capable of affording Jordans that cost nearly 200 dollars every other week, aside from that they're always smoking ganja and constantly got bottles that are costly. You know certain folks who don’t have a bowl to piss on are mainly the ones show casting their expensive antiques but can't seem to rid of the roaches and rats to make it look like they’re livelihood is under the poverty line. That’s a class act they so desperately display.

lol@samatar, niggas aren't going to starve they'll bring their fake piss along with them. You know how folks are always finding loopholes around the system. Lol.

if everybody is using the fake piss they will catch on.
I know damn well at least 90% of the folks being tested smoke trees, this drug test was done on purpose cause these cadaan fuckers know damn well every nigga in the hood is smoking trees or is about to smoke trees.

Here's the thing, they know majority of them smoke but they can't prove it. Hopefully they'll pat 'em down before sending them off to the bathroom, because if they don't, chances of those people passing the drug test is extremely high.

I'm happy the Government is doing that, I hope every state in the United States does that. These motherfuckers are buying drugs while their kids are starving.

Lol I might have to agree with Sam on this. If people know enough about the hood,they also know that's geedoland. I wonder how many folks will put their kids up for adoption. What's the consequence for not passing?

[Samatr]

There are some innovative fuckers out there, where there is a will there is a way.
this law has racism written all over it,
it reminds me of the lax cocaine laws and strict crack laws
cocaine: white people are the major consumers, less time served as opposed to crack even though they are equally as dangerous.
crack: black people are the major consumers and they serve stupid time.
