Government Welfare Program – Should There Be Time Limits & Drug Tests? [POLLS]

Another hugely controversial question that is being pitched is, should there be mandatory drug tests for people who are using the governmental welfare assitance program?

While there are no ‘real time’ statistics on who is using drugs and collecting welfare, it is still a big enough issue to prompt some states into pushing for the drug testing of any recipient of welfare assitance. Of course, not everyone who is on welfare is using drugs, but is the number enough to warrant these tests? In the end, will it save the government more money to drug test these recipients, or will it waste more?
