I'm glad they have this program, and I wish we did drug-screening so the addicts' only choice for assistance is rehab.

Ack....
I totally disagree with the program, and especially any of this talk of more FORCED drug screening.

Instead of handing them foodstamps every month to fritter away on expensive food, the government should make people on welfare take agriculture & food preservation/canning classes, hand them some seeds, and tell them to go plant their own food and tend to their crops. At least that way they would be working for their food.

Wow, that sounds very libertarian of you, which is why I agree completely. Welcome to the forum. The only reason our current government would never do this, is it would encourage land ownership rights and individual responsibility, two things the government is slowly trying to abolish.

I wouldn't try to defend federal aid to the lazy, but that isn't what's pushing the budget into the Red Sea...

It may not be Pat, but it surely is part of it, and it surely is
as unconstitutional as the complaints you have about this government.
As they say about referees..... I don't care what you call a foul, but let's be consistent about it damnit!
The littany of offenses to the Constitution committed by this government range all scope of government authority, and then some. Social aid, and welfare programs are but one small piece of a large pie made of corruption, to extort operating money for the corrupt system under the guise of legality, rendering the voice and intent of the people useless.
